Not Lavender

To the imagination of senses

Not lavender

It was purple
It was lilac purple

And the philosophy of it

It was more like light and airy
The difference between lavender and lilac purple

An degree

The light is on one side of the plant
but underneath
where the sunlight
doesn't sparkle

We're still recovering our imaginary senses
I was 'can we please'?
And now

Forest green

Colors are philosophies
these lush, rainbow voices

An alliance between them

of them

all of the philosophies

I am

All of the colors

No I meant it

To me

What I meant was like, 'how are—you?'

Like who doesn't know an girl like this—

Is that why you choose me instead?

We are going through the same thing

Then—

We are us sharing it?

An rush

An thought

An challenge

An tie?

We're different.

We're just not lavender.
