yellow
 
Yellow girl, you are the color
Of mid-morning sunlight peeking behind the linen curtains  
Arousing slumbered eyes  
Caramel sweet and tender coating my tongue  
Pages worn out by one too many grazes  
Sand sun kissed by summer warming up
Skin still raw from salt  
Butterflies drifting at dusk high from buttercups
Lights dimmed down  
Chrysanthemums unfurling into fall
 
Yellow girl, you are all
