Paint
A quiet colour for a quiet room.
I have been looking at paint swatches:
Muted lilac.
Empty perfume bottle.
Musty breeze.
Old library.
Crushed tibia.
Twilight, with a hint.
Quintessential truth.
Lost keys, found.
Simmer gently.
Footsteps on the beach.
Foggy graveyard.
Faint drizzle.
Dried spittle.
Mysterious teal.
Week-old apple.
Post-argument frost.
Unfound fossil.
Book, left out in the sun.
Off milk.
No running.
Cobwebbed chandelier.
Furtive pygmy.
Moon.
On your knees in prayer.
Very almost.
Unfulfilled ambition.
Breakfast’s lukewarm tea.
Infinite void.
