Shillong
Red on green
Bright in the dappled shade.
Bright red on the streets.
White like fear
And cold (yet sweaty).
Dark like dread.
Yellow and blue and red
Like fire
And a man who burns within (it?).
Black and purple
Like the bruises after a lynching.
Bright. Like the night. With the moon.
And a million brilliant stars
Shining down their silver light
