color me stained as the ink splash fell
as bottle broke as adrenaline blood
in anxious streams the octopod left
color me night in igneous sweats
dark curly clouds thick eyebrow storms
some sexual healing some daily frets
color me brown in espresso shots
in sunlight blazes in rain cloud paths
on paved gold dust under clear blue skies
color me pale in scavenger urges
cross me deserts like the raven flies
closer to atopia where new seasons lie
color me bleeding at the edge of a night
cut swathes of secret waters to fight the good fight
color me i feel so black and white

Have you ever considered performing at poetry slams? A piece like this would rock, I think. Some really outstanding imagery and turns-of-mind here. It’s my turn now to tip my hat to you.
~MM – Thanks Chico
! I have thought about it, but still too stage shy
