Orange is for Eyebrows

Orange is for Eyebrows

Who determines what the colors are?
Where’s the palette? Are the brushes hard
From the air and the creeping stillness?

(eye yie….)

All the gleaming from a hard surface
We have eyes, but we don’t see – we don’t notice
Till it’s too late to stop the blindness.

(eye yie….)

Stuff a pillow just to stifle sound
It won’t work though – all the throbs rebound
And it fills, yeah it fills to bursting.

(eye yie….)

Hale and well met, full of obscene guile
All the promise of a rubber smile
And we file, file into the twilight.

(eye yie….)

Paint me something – show me what it’s not
Like a tint in the eyebrows, or a Gordian knot
You unravel with mindless chatter.

(eye yie….)
