I don't need you To tell me You love me I'm satisfied Just being Your memory Think of me When you see The color purple Not Prince Or that movie More like The hue Of that bruise On your shin When you bang It on the same Coffee table For the fortieth time That's me The hummingbird At your feeder Here and gone Before you can blink A strobe light Flashing glimpses Of me When you remember I will know That will be enough

Faded hematoma  Bloodied underneath Reminds me I’m alive  Bit by life’s bright teeth Contusions are gifts  Whose colors open slowly  Existence nibbles On the bones of the lonely  Love bites and brawls  Is it any wonder Life can leave you bruised  But purple is my favorite color
