trying to show grief as a colour spectrum.
a rainbow of colour after the dark clouds pit and cry some colours come bright and hopeful
others have a dialled-down hue
and even now, some colours are imperceptible
rainbow emerges all at once, whether slowly, quickly under the fine line between rain and sunshine
when opposite forces combine, then fragment
I do not need to explain the look and feel of rainbows to the grieving – the look of hope appearing and disappearing without warningÂ
