Pink

Pink is the flesh
Pink is the pig
Pink like the meat
Pink innards squished
Pink in the eye
Pink the disease
Pink on the rise
Pink pastel sighs
Pink the depression
Pink bright on the outside
Pink for a woman
Pink now for men
Pink as a stigma
Pink as raw blood
Pink elephant stance
Pink stubborn yet fair
Pink’s attentive air
Pink flushed cheeks
Pink emotions: rushed and bleak
Pink that colour of rosy cheeks
Pink badge of the awkward and shy
Pink stands out, bold, proud
Pink neon rave
Pink making slaves
Pink is white plus red
Pink is the colour


Of a privilege left for dead
