lighting hues

i love my red lights

across the yard guiding me to tar

the ice crumples and sometimes squeaks

beneath these heavy feet

and i march away toward blue lights

 

my blue lights are perfect melancholy

and my dreams are the same now

with the occasional night terror

where i get everything i want

 

yellow lights are such a baseline

between braking and gassing it

it’s a hard neutral

but still best to focus to

 

my purple light

is my favorite hue

because instead of blue

i pucker up, hooves made of glue

and get sent off the farm
