Color Captivation

Tristan Robert Lange


Notice of absence from Tristan Robert Lange
Friends, I’m doing my best to keep up with comments. 😅 I’m still current on my own poems and first replies on others’ work, but this season has been a bit of a twister. Figured I’d drop a quick note so you don’t think I’ve vanished or gone flaky.
Read. Write. Rise. Realize. 🤘💀🖤
 
Decay bursts forth radiantly
In a fiery explosion of color.
Vibrant and alluring,
The strong frame looms over me.
 
I can’t stop staring—
The auburn red, the pumpkin orange,
Speckled with golden bronze
And shades of earthen brown—
 
I can’t stop gazing at it—
Into it—
 
Through the color canopy,
Bony-white fingers reach—
Claw—
For me.
 
But I can’t stop—
I can’t move—
 
Voices are calling out for me,
They’re calling me to come to them
From somewhere—
 
Outside—
 
Away from this hellscape
Where I am locked within
The clutches
Of this damnable
Tree.
