twisting the kaleidoscope behind both of my eyes

i think my mind sometimes goes colour blind

and the world is a somber grey

like the day before rain

or curls of smoke from ashtrays

so i try to make up for it by covering

my bare walls with every shade

every piece of the rainbow

so that maybe when the Sun rises

and spills through the curtains

the rays will catch the colour

and sent it careening into the clouds

in a glorious crescent

and my eyes will once again

know beauty
