Fire Engine

am defined –
You prefer the blond
enough that
I cried this morning
For a colour long lost
To an impulsive
Friday night
When I thought
Fire would better
My sense of self
And now bitter –
I am floating
On a haze
Of the days
Coming
My misery
Defined
For all the world
To see
The colour
I used to be.
