Yellow and Blue

Black Willow

You should've seen me in yellow and blue

before I put on dirty shoes

and tied my hair into a ponytail

and hid in a coffee-stained vessel.

 

You should've seen me while I was bright

Oregon breeze on a campfire night

You would feel flustered: such a sight!

and sorrowful that I will die.

    My attempts to see metaphor in this failed and I have to take it as literal and melancholically and nostalgically so. Nicely written
