colors s'il vous plait

take the blue of the bedroom walls
the yellow quilt, the bright off the chandelier,
the white pillows behind me, dawn, its shy light

take the big bone tiles of the bathroom floor 
you're drying off on, brown/white body 
in the mirror below the moviestar lights 

take me in bed against the blue walls 
below the painting, my book (red),  
the soft hour, nothing yet, another Florida morning: 
	birds, palms shining in the heat

take the colors of coffee, newspapers
 
the silvers of my bicycle, the cool whites of your shoes 
by the door, alors
