yellow

Yellow is for regret, the distal, the second hand:
The grasshopper's wing, that yellow, the slur of dust;
Back light, the yellow of loneliness;
The yellow of animals, their yellow eyes;
The holy yellow of death;
Intuitive yellow, the yellow of air;
The double yellow, telling who comes and who goes;
The yellow of yellowhammers, one drop of the devil's blood;
The yellow of what is past;
Yellow of wormwood, yellow of straw;
The yellow of circuits, the yellow beneath the skin;
Amaranth yellow, bright bloom;
The yellow of sulfur, the finger, the road home.

Charles Wright, "Yellow"
