LID

If you had to live your life
using only five colours,
which would you choose?

I’d pick mine
from the sky-blue sky,
and a milk-white cloud,
and that stop-light red
at the heart of the sun,
and that’s me done.

What?
You want to see the other two?

I’m keeping those hid,
capped, under my hat.
I’m saving those up
for a rainy day.
