Ode to Yellow

Ode to Yellow





To yellow paint upon my counter


The red is dead and it must go.


The prep is set


It must be followed


Wash, sand,wipe with solvent x2.


The fantasy is resplite


Reality is upon us.


I hang over eighteen feet


Of hard ground


Upside down and through the lifelines


My thoughts are few


“don’t fall”


“can’t work with broken bones”.


Al sands standing on the scaffold.


I have suddenly developed a phobia


Of heights.


I can’t go up, so I hang over the edge.


Yellow seems so far away….
