Colorless: Purple.

Royal. Velvet. She is sophisticated.

She’s happy. She’s energetic. She is the joy that spreads across the girls faces. She is flowers that bloom as spring approaches, purple like the wisteria she braids through her hair.

Kendrance Ryan pulls purple smoke from her cigarettes. She lets the ash fall purple to the floor. The fire always sparks purple as she lights a new one.

Purple smudges her eyelids where her tired eyes rub. Lilac smears the lips that often kiss. Purple is nails that are polished.

Kendrance Ryan has a purple bedroom. It holds her head at night. It covers her while she sleeps. It closes over the window that she sometimes looks at as she lusts to be wrapped up in the purple stars.

But most of all, purple is who Kendrance Ryan is.
