Literature Text

I belong
to the red earth now
and not the green.

It has stained my fish-scale skin
to beaten bronze
and stripped my autumn hair
to ashen gold.

All that remains
is the blue of my eyes--
not azure
not cerulean
but blue-blue;
the color of a perfect sky
no matter where it's seen.
For #Word-Smiths Color Poetry contest: [link]

Three lines are cribbed from another poem of mine, and I rather like the link it creates between the two pieces.
