I'd like to make videos, or even just audio clips, of me speaking poetry. This is one of them. I struggled with the format when typing it up; there's no comparison between reading this and hearing it. They are almost different poems, at least in my mind.

Colour Contamination
Why are
there contaminated rainbows? Black, grey, white are not colours,
shades that don't belong in these spectrums. So why are there streaks
of black? The rain can't wash them away – why are there streaks of
blood running down the arcs, dripping on my face, held up to behold
the colours which fade and die under their disease which will not be
cured by the warmth or the sun, arriving now and the colours appear
in all their glory and the black grows in like a rotting mold
bleeding dark red leaks onto our heads, innocently searching for hope
that the dark skies bring us, now from lands far away, far from out
land of ice and snow, slowly thawing out the traditions of our kind
of ideas, and yet the colours which bring salvation to our minds
bleed into our eyes instead, blinding us to our principals and
values and recreating infinite challenges because there aren't any
easy solutions left after all.
