White, Gray, Red

Avery Kanel

The sun behind a cloud Glowed from a SADD light In the corner of his room Outside, the sun behind a cloud Glowed

Two white lights fill a grey room The small sun in the clinical white box And the large one, outside, swaddled up in grey

Goes the day, white light everywhere Filling the world like cotton They threaten to wick him up, a Spill off the pavement And float away

Returns the day, and the boy They float To the grey room

Then sleep, sky outside light black A boulder slips up and down a hill Wake up in a dark white

Big sun and Little sun shot in his eyes 51
