happiness

orange, round, no sharp edges, like the bubbles in a lava lamp.
and there's green eyes, and a smile.
freckles, and a scar.
and it expands, like gap filler, foamy and complete

.... and orange.

it's heavy, its weight sinking back to earth,
but effervescent.
lose yourself in it, just sink into density.
and i see the future.
but it's cloudy, obscured by a shroud of the same material that covers me.
it's a little scary, heart beats faster, eyes dart around,
need to get out.
but then, 
inhale. exhale.
a hand covers my own, fingers intertwine.
warmth spreads, calms.
smile.
