My sun was purple today.
It threw some of its grape toned light on my arm making it fascinating and disturbing at once. I threw my head back and shut my eyes. I kept them shut throughout the ride, watching the things you see only when you aren’t looking.
There were concentric circles in orange with dark streaks, perhaps the berserk sun, and green spots. There were miniature versions of us, blowing soap bubbles at home and playing catch with balding tennis balls. There was a 5 year old me holding up a box of leaking paints.
When I opened my eyes, the green spots stood by me for a bit and then went away. The sun danced around the trees in a morning rush. By the time I got to work, it had snuck behind a cloud.
When I looked down at my arms, they were normal coloured again. For the smallest fraction of a second, I missed the purple.
