Yellow Vinyl Skirt

The autumn light pours through the window

pooling on the carpet, and splashing up

to paint the walls in a crayon orange glow.

Your presence overwhelms the room

filling all the spaces the light missed

making it hard to sit still.

Every breath feels fake and forced,

like I have to work at pushing it out just right,

There's something about this poem that just gets to the gut. I love the title, it opens up a whole new meaning for the poem that isn't mentioned inside.
