Of faded colours

I like to colour my hair red

It is beautiful and brave and spirited

with a wish that daring would seep into my heart

And colour me red.

Because you see

I am made of faded colours

Like the sunburnt pages of an old magazine

Crinkled pages with blotches of colour, desaturated

One fading into another

Pages that had known vigour once

A long time ago…
