The Color Orange
Bankers, accountants, morticians
don't wear
orange or
yellow
just perhaps a smear of
red power tie.
Children, poppies ,
autumn trees
drape themselves in harvest shades
like priests in multi-hued vestements
celebrating sacerdotal festivals.
God, make me a glad glee-singer
in garments of
pumpkin,
pomegranate,
persimmon,
trailing streams of music and laughter.
