I wrote for 15 minute minutes on the subject of the colour purple; and no I do not go into the book. I have read it, but I wanted to try a free write. I don't usually do the free writes, but today I was curious. I came up with a few really good images.
Free Write:
Purple is a mixture of Red and Blue, anger and sadness. It seems like a peaceful colour, if maybe a little sad.
...And a sunset long pass being a sunset, when the wound of the sun is to turn purple.
Purple, Indigo, Periwinkle, all purples that fade become Blues, which is when the happy is removed from life, leaving only the Blues of sadness.

Sun Bruising / Edge of the Universe
Upon the edge of the world
where the sun sets across the sky,
like a wound beginning to bruise.
I can see the colours running together
a tincture for the sky at Day's End,
Upon the edge of the world.
A palette of emotions spreading
to mottle my own canvas,
where the sun sets across the sky.
Wrapping my skin in a spectral bandage
warm at the core, but cool around the edges--
like a wound beginning to bruise.
