Purple

White-washed walls
Red-spotted dress
Grass-stained sandals
Dust-covered feet
Black hair, brown eyes,
Brown skin.
Scorched lips, mouth
Parched.
Tear-stained face
Pink, maroon.
Runny nose, hanging tongue,
Soft hands, hard nails.

Purple heart.

Then red then orange,
Then yellow.
Then green then blue,
Then grey.
Then white then black,
Then light then dark,
Then purple again.
