<p>Rainbow Walk by <a href="https://skylars-portfolio.tumblr.com/">Skylar Bauer</a></p>
<p>Heart racing, I walk through the woods,<br />
Remembering the rainbow walk trick.<br />
Bright red berries, bearing falsehoods.</p>
<p>Looking for orange now, feeling a lunatic,<br />
Trying to steady my breathing.<br />
Colors of a sunset described in brick.</p>
<p>Rainbow walks are meant to help the heaving<br />
of my chest as I contemplate the yellow bees<br />
and anxiety. Though far from appeasing,</p>
<p>I find these colors with ease.<br />
Green in the toxic colored ‘M’ on a can<br />
Trapped beneath fallen trees.</p>
<p>Blue in the music as it began&#8211;<br />
“Misery” playing through my headphones.<br />
The walk not helping, I craft a plan:</p>
<p>I’ll go home and let a shower soothe my bones,<br />
but as I turn to leave, an indigo butterfly<br />
skips over the water like stones.</p>
<p>Rather than exiting without a try,<br />
I find graffiti in violet to satisfy.</p>
