I squeezed out half a tube
of aquamarine blue
and on the floor of my room.
it rest amidst the dull blank stare
of pallette wood.
it was never put towards anything,
it just lay there
without being stepped on-
it was begging even
just to feel the bottom of a foot
but the paint is dry now.
the skin of my heels lacking any custom pigmentation
and a mural of floorboards
dances on the roof.
you're really amazing. i love your poetry!
