Masks and Colors
by Johan
My mask is yellow when
My anger has lodged inside my stomach, heavy with distraction
My mask is blue when
I thread the sidewalk, watching
Like when I was lost in twilight as everyone ran home
My mask is red when
I cannot shove the fluttering words in my head out their toothy exit
My mask is white when
I hold still my twitching muscles
Like when I sit in the window seat blending with the furniture
