Red

Red, existing in extremes,

unable to be anything but itself.

Commanding passionately at the far end of this visible spectrum.

Yellow

Yellow was a concept

Vastly misunderstood,

So explosive, engulfing,

That riding its expanse felt more scary than thrilling.

It’s opposites were soft and quiet and gentle

Yellow offered paradoxal ending promise of the same

If the color could be survived.
