This colour is hot
Like embers glowing before ashing out
Like tips of tongues bringing down forests
Like rays of a disc that melts the wax of a man-bird who flies too high

This colour is tangy
Abounding during the Lunar New Year
Arriving in pairs, passed from hand to hand
Round, small, falling apart at the centre, juices running down your arms

This colour is pungent
Rising from rice cooked with saffron
Tinged with sweet scented cinnamon and cloves
Telling of warm, warm comfort

This colour is booming
Its brightness deafens
Filling your spheres with sounds sans colour
All else shrinks to a faint echo, lingering after
