Color Captivation

Tristan Robert Lange

 
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.
