Colors, by Maricela Huerta



We never have been
And never will be
The pure colorless majesty
Of every color mixing effortlessly
Our colors are infinite
Every shade of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet
We mix and match
And sometimes two will come together to create a new shade
Some seek to get rid of this color
To throw it in a melting pot
And make everything a blank bright white
But I for one
Am content
To examine and learn
What this gorgeous world will create

  1. Your language is so lush, Mari. I like, "We never have been/And never will be/The pure colorless majesty/Of every color mixing effortlessly." God forbid we see only "blank bright white."
