colores primarios: amarillo

the very tip of the flame, the
color of shite journalism, “stars
of spectral classes f & g,” a ripe
banana peel, piss full of vitamins
being flushed out, ring around the
collar, chats n’ shafted flickers n’
hammers n’ warblers, emma stone’s
locks prior to her better known dye-
jobs, charlize’s natural locks known
to all moviegoers, lemons, ducks
when portrayed in rubber form at a
county fair, a pedestrian-crossing
street sign, lilium, yellow
chrysanthemums, oenothera,
this color cake is one step in making
a nuke, for the maya it meant
southward, donovan made a killing
with his mellow song addressing it,
a single lamp glowing in a dark room
& echoing visually on the wall,
internationally n’ maritimely this color
flag means the letter “q,” these color
pages used to dominate ones’ ability to
give someone a ring, goldenrod, ½ of a
bumble bee’s color in total, the sun rising
in a clear sky’s early morn.
