Color field

I will rememeber that field forever
the red lights in the sky like fire
Horses that run in the night
reminded you of the rodeo
and of your daddy
I said tell me when it is too much
and you lit up brighter than all of it
like the thoughts in my head
they were gathered, scattered, admired
Silver-bellied woman
with the night air in your hair
your eyes are all red lights
but the night is all green
and my heart is all red
and maybe a little green
and maybe a little yellow
and now I am waxing chromatic
and I will think of you every April
every time I hear the rain in the leaves
I will think of the treehouse where we would sleep
where birds and butterflies waited
but we just could not seem to-
