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
