When You're Just Color Poem by Maria Mitea

it's unfair to hate the morning
- it's unfair to hate,
because
neither the new nor the old
after burning the night
this day does not return in vain,
this day is a good day to be: a leaf
scribbled by the blue of the sky,
green sprawling on the ground, the sea
turned upside down (steam hanging from the sky
mornings) , - today i woke up
with all colors of mine caressing the faint frost on the top of the grass,
dressing up for the winter, wood and smoke rodents,
- to lighten up the agate eye
i did not forget the summer flowers either,
colored dust and water
'holi diwali', smiles in clay lanterns, lost kiss in rangoli
- ah, darling,
do not forget,
this day is a good day to be your favorite color, like
the color of the sky, of the sun, earth, or grass...
