All These Colors and Other Poems


All These Colors and Other Poems


By: Sarah Mahina Calvello


These Colors

🍂All these colors,
Combed and spun
Into fine spirals
Of cotton candy
Dying the sky
With a stretching sigh

Morning rose
Covers everything
With a patient brightness

Another day
 of rise and fall
—

The Postcard

For Michael Calvello

🍂Take me to the fields


Of golden green


Where the flowers bloom heavy


Against the scented sky
And trembling water

The path of bent grass


Leads to a path of bent grass


Leads to a group of quiet trees


Seeming alone


Even when they are together

Burnt green tears


In the distance


It won’t ever change
If you want to stay the same
—🍂

For Michael Calvello

Mine is an army of angels


Night brings out troubles to the light


Hanging on the smoky edge of dreams

Hazy silvers hide the light


Hidden clouds and trees like dark tears


Starts with a glimmer
Ends with a glow


It’s so hard to forget pain


But even harder to remember sweetness
~🍂

Sunset, Version Two

For Michael Calvello

🍂Mine is an army of angels


Night brings out troubles to the light


Hanging on the smoky edge of dreams

Hazy silvers hide the light


Hidden clouds and trees like dark tears


Starts with a glimmer


Ends with a glow


It’s so hard to forget pain


But even harder to remember sweetness🍂
