Five colors spilled out into the ocean.

Five colors crested a wave.

Five colors drank all the water in the world.

Five colors dug a graying grave.

Five colors only

Four colors smiled at the sunlight.

Four colors spoke to the moon.

Four colors milked the glowing way.

Four colors only

Three colors lay down under branches.

Three colors danced with the leaves.

Three colors only

Two colors hoped for something better

bitter

Two colors only

One color only saved the world. Red.
