Colors: A Sestina

Justin Silverio

His eyes are blue

His skin was fair

His cheeks were once red

His teeth are now yellow

His hair also brown

And his clothes completely black.

Before, his glasses were black

The sea clear blue

The umbrella brown

And the mini fridge white.

The hot sun yellow

And everybody's skin red.

His pimples were red

His thoughts completely dark

His smile used to be yellow

But in reality he was thoughtlessly blue.

Outside himself was white

But inside he was clear brown.

He found a girl who was also brown

And when they met, both turned red.

Finding themselves in a world full of white

They touched, in the dark

And after thoughts that were blue,

They decided to have a small yellow.
