Rainbow Fish
psst
hey!
hello?
you—
listen closely to the way I shimmer
my flicker caught you looking
wanting thinking I am everything
eating up my opal luminescence
you didn’t know I did
spit and flicker every kind of light
at your open mouth
hush now breathe
my inky envy
your indigo eyes painted over gold
green teeth on fuchsia lips
float crisp in technicolor
