The Purple

Thomas W Case



For the first time in my
life, I saw colors, not like
normal people see colors; my recent

woman
sees colors all the time.
This morning, there was
purple splashed all over my room.
Once, in her sleep, she said
the word 'purple.'
I asked her what it meant,
she said, 'Knowledge of the future.'
I know she will try and screw this
sickness out of me; God Bless her.
What do I know about the future?
I know it looks bleak, and the
doves are crying.

    Goodness gracious how very sad and beautiful. Those last lines hit like a brick "kudos" dear Thomas. 🌹
