if he had a mood ring, it would probably be gray
a color leeched of color,
black has some depth to it at least.
or maybe it would be brown, an amalgamation
of emotion, smashing joy, sadness, anxiety, rage, hope and pain together in a shitty mix.
who knows? cos he doesn't
seem to have a pulse today.

I love the idea of this so much! "a color leeched of color," ... I enjoyed that very much :)
The last two stances made me laugh! Nice work Heather :)
Simply seething. Well wrought!
I wanted to say that brown is poop colour and then you mentioned shitty mix. You're on the right path hehehehe. Loved your poem!
Give him a slap. Red is pretty. 😉
I hope it changes to a more positive colour soon, this is how I felt this morning. Big hugs
Tough day?
