"Colour Wheel" by callie atta

Colour Wheel. 2007.

colour wheel                                      sets me dries me                                             like red

 into the grand canyon

                                                                                                                love

is sometimes    light                                         for all the hours

for all the hours in the world I would leave this city to          find you

tempered tempo

we explorers look so similar from afar

and yet on ourselves we etch I am different I am so wholehearted I am so complete I am stealing your lines

bass backbeat coming up from the apartment below

12:22 am on a week day night

it’s freezing outside it’s april outside

I feel like I’m learning too much too early or not late                       enough

timing was a                                       stumbling block.
