Writer's Block

by Karen Michelle

Sometimes I mix memories
to siphon them into
a cadence of wordplay
because there can never be
"one" without "other" and
I am so incomplete
in singular moments.

We are the whole sum
of these colourful parts,
defined by the contrast
in hue and saturation
between your projected
self and mine.

Take me at full spectrum -
this girl of today
is not sold separately.

I know I keep saying this, but I really love these shorter pieces. You are beautiful.
