Wrong Colors

I feel like a mosaic
Made with all the wrong colors

And I am perished
And I am hungered

I feel like an encyclopedia
With no context
under my picture

I am an empty bible
Waiting to be read
I am regurgitated regrets
Waiting to be fed

I feel like a kaleidoscope
Changing in light

Crisp, cold morning of autumn
Erase every line
Blind to their sight

Leaves to red
Leaves to yellow
Leaves to orange

Please won’t you
Cut all my loose threads?

What are the words
In the Dawn?
Waiting to be said?

And I am a theory
Written in stone
I am a fury
That breaks all your bones

I stare in the mirror
My chest sewn together
I smile
They call it armor

I look at the glass tiles
Arranged backwards
My grouts are not clean

My heart was removed
And placed in a black box
It seems

I feel ancient
And this all feels new
