The Significance of Colors and Its Influence in Life
By Prahlaad Ram and Akshay Muralisrinivasan

People observe colors of a day only 
at its beginning

And its end.
A single hour can consist of thousands
Of colors

First
the colors,
Then the humans,
That’s usually how I see things 

For me, the sky was 
The color 
of Jews.

Waxy yellows, cloud-spat blues, 
the charcoal on, nice and thick, till he was covered in black-
murky darkness
Personally, I like a chocolate colored sky. Dark, dark, chocolate.
Usually, it was like spillage- cold and heavy, slippery and gray…

They were made of kindness and silver
In the darkness of my dark beating heart…
There were black, black crumbs and pepper streaked across the redness..
The scribbled signature black onto the blinding global white onto the thick soupy red-

The last time I saw her was red…
The Cologne sky was yellow and rotting, flaking at the edges-
A Road of yellow stars 
The sky is blue today,and there is a big long cloud, and its stretched out, like a rope. 
At the end of it, the sun is like a yellow hole.. 

A color will be perched on my shoulder
I deliberately seek out the colors to keep my mind off them,
Despite all the colors that touch and grapple with what I see in this world, 
I will often catch an eclipse when a human dies..
The darkest moment before dawn..
