Eggplant

By cadymae

Your mean-streak is eggplant-colored.

If it were electric blue, you'd need an audience.

If it were ecru, I'd wonder if you'd just said that.

If it were black, I wouldn't be standing at your side.

Instead, it is a stabbing motion I can deflect,

While marveling at its shade,

while silently hating purple.

This was fantastic and the colors took things to another level. A fine line between criticality and meanness perhaps? Thanks and well done.
