Bruises

I languish in longing

To know where to begin

And my blue bruises remind me of where I’ve been

A kaleidoscope of colours

These blue bruises and I

Remember the beauty of them

Experiencing an acid high

On wreck bay, naked was I

And wondered how like they were

To the cave colours that day

And the link we made long ago,

Never forgotten
