“Indigo”

Inspired by the artworks of Akiana Kramarik

Call me what color you wish.
I’ll watch you
with curtainless eyes, patient
while you stand shifting
from one foot to the other
as I raise my brush to undress my old soul
and yours.
Please ascend my shy spiral.
Be not afraid
to let your colors mix with mine:
pomegranate, maize, carmine,
cerulian, fuschsia, sienna,
or aquamarine. Or scarlet.
Or indigo.
Stains are a fine sign.
Your flag, your gods, your tears, your rags,
your songbooks, your bleeding,
your children, your trophies, your name
I’ll post with gratitude and wonder
and heal your hurts
with your own secret heat
through discovery and tact.
Do not stand at the foot of my tower
and think your hues cannot rise
nor participate in my ongoing feast
look for them
in every stroke and shading
in every dancer that snaps and bends
each pyramid, each hungry eye
each cloud and hammer and star and staircase
and know there is no particle
of yourself unfit
for the scathing dimensions
and eternal becoming
and chaste adoring
and unhidden lamps
of my gentle definitions
of your own indigenous color.
