He wears colors on colors,
Unfading meshes,
Undying tulip.
Vibrant and bursting
Like light is his making.
Holding his own,
Remaking his body
Walking alone.
Wandering lantern,
He sings with affection
Like he serenades a spirit.
Even shares a kiss with the air.
He shakes his found feathers,
Painted and purposed.
He’s deeply involved.
Colors on colors
He says,
“I’m looking pretty for God.”
I asked,
“Where did you come from?”
He said,

Colors on colors
Fabrics like foliage
Growing out of itself.
A peculiar fashion,
He dances and searches,
Flowering patterns.
I’m pulled through his motions
Whether he knows it or not.
Layers on layers,
Yet totally naked.
Allowing himself, even his shame.
Painted and purposed.
He’s deeply involved.
Colors on colors, he says,
