Primary Moves

Vibrant colors                        of                                             primary splashed sails.        Bouncing triangles                to                                             squinting eye views              when                                       waters potent                          quickly slice and sink,           slap against boundaries      and                                         microphone soft sounds.      Molded vessels                     pierce                                     an afternoon sky,                  following the cadence          of                                            wind and waves.                   Proceeding across               the dance floor blue              with                                         the slickest                            and sweetest                         of                                            primary moves.

Evening Palette

I don't sink                                into the blues                           at sunset,                                 but sometimes a                     dash of screeching pink,        fuzzy peach or                         drifting lavender.                       I let them                                   have their way.                        Changing hues.                       Spreading around like            paint swatches freed              from their racks.                      Penetrating sky walls              while elusively haunting.         Donning new nightly                costumes in silky sleekness  and soft flannel.                       Flaunting scripts                      totally unrehearsed.                Dropping hints that                  the real show begins               behind black velvet curtains   after they've shut off                my view,                                   Leaving me quite comfortably incomplete in a                         vacated theater                        with a bare palette begging    and brushes eager to              dip                                              and                                             dance.
