The Transparent Soul

I never knew

that transparent

was a color.

I always thought

it a flavor,

like yellow apples and simple fools.

I saw through you

the other day

and found myself.

It was the most

beautiful color I'd ever seen.

To need someone

else in order

to be yourself

makes the flavor

transparent both

delicious and forever.
