I have been given a box of such exquisite
colours to choose from.
Just look.
Dozens, hundreds, an entire spectrum.
So plentiful, so easy to share.

The cool lavender also awaits.
The wells are deep. Paint your picture:
I still have more than I shall ever need
to paint my own.
Always be a poet. Even in prose.

A sequence of my poems has been published in a hardcover book entitled The Music of Leaving Poems by Tricia McCallum
