Not Pink
an empty house
yet it feels crowded
invisible knives
silent shouting
they want to sing with joy
but their voice is hoarse
they can't sing
. . .
so they paint with stiff brushes
of happy colors
they think
. . .
so they mix the emptiness of white
with the anger of red
this is how they make
the facade of a pink
. . .
