when i die
i will
become purple
the purple of an iris .... johnny-jump-ups & hyacinths
the purple thread of swooshy clouds at twilight over the Platte River
the purple feathers of a Costa hummingbird
when i die i will become blue
morning sky blue
after rain blue
September blue sky blue
i will be blue
when i die Oo to be green!
the green of trees that line a river bed
verdant fields waiting for someone to take notice & dance
when i die i will become a dream
a dream that leaves you too soon
