Free verse № 141256
Outside the Perfection, Into the Yellow
I imagine being insane,
inside white walls with no glow,
but the resolution of minced cocaine
smeared all over their stances-
the ill brightness of a dentist's office
that cuts off wind from the sky
and the sky itself. A sour smell,
glass door...raw and white, so white...
Outside Spring has conquered all
with poking poppies
and lavender bushes that blot a naked blue background.
The hummingbird with his velocity
and the season of babies.
A sun that winces at me
in its natural light.
Immortality melts in my mouth like
sugar, as I ride the day slow
with the sun to my west.
Two magnolia trees and a mimosa-
this is what I savor before the ivory bulbs
shined up the cap of my head;
I just had a colorful cat nap.

Good stuff. Welcome.
Is it the sun that winces or you?
There are some wonderful fresh images here, very original. Overall this poem is perfectly lovely.
