Nail Varnish

Under 500 ~~~ The once clear varnish has turned the colour of toenails, chalky and yellowed. And if she were to open it, tugging on the shiny black cap that is stuck and extract the brush moulded into an eyelash, it would hang, suspended in an infinite tear. She doesn't pick it up, but she knows if she did, slipping it carelessly into her palm, it would leave behind a perfect circle in the dust.

Yellow

Yellow, Ralph and I are yellow; not the strip-light yellow of past mistakes, but early morning yellow, crisp and true. My son and I are green, spring leaf green; so I knew, even before he started talking that we would never stop. My daughter and I are blue, cornflower blue, I bite my tongue and wonder if we will ever become friends. My sister and I are indigo; the less said about that the better.

Limbo (inspired by 'Who gets the Heart' ' Channel 4)
