One Word: delicate

Delicate, soap bubble
Iridescent rainbows shadows slip, revolve
Across and around the bulging perimeter
Puff of atmosphere temporarily captured
This is how it feels to be brown

Strong winds, dessication
Any minute disruption in surface tension
Could detonate the world
Seen through dark brown eyes
Blue black centered, black spoke flecks radiating out

One Word: checks

down and then up
red and white
glance in the rear view mirror
hound's tooth
order a box of new ones before they run out
toothbrush?
toothpaste?
floss?
