My insides are purple on most days
Laced with violet flowers or galaxies
It's the colour I feel when I lay in bed at night
When I look out my bathroom window and see the fire escape covered in rain
When I lay in my bed, feeling something, anything.

Purple is the in between. The neutral.
Exsistance is veiled in purple.
A presence so common I forget.
Comforting.  Home.

When I open my mouth purple flowers fall out of my lungs
Words spewing as fractals across light

When I open my eyes, stars fall out
Cushioned in purple nothingness
Seeking. Shooting across time space.

My insides are wrapped.
Bound and protected by silk ribbons.
Filling the corners of me I cannot reach.

Making me purple.
