Description
"Color is not a property of objects,
it's a property of light."

He explains this from a mental vista
focused by a lens rather than science,
focused on the peach intrusion, the collapse
of the sun, setting to sleep over the day,
over our heads and beyond relevance.

He explained this, focused from the lens directed
at my edge of the bed, where the blinds played
with what could be seen of my smile behind
my tired limbs and my skin beneath worn,
dull, white, soft sheets and his soft flannel shirt.

And he muses, "Yet, even under every
blanket we own, even in complete absence
of light, there is yellow in your eyes.
What are you property of?"
