fade to yellow

Jaundice,
Fading to yellow.
Dandelions dissolving
Into the meadow
Of my skin.

I feel it within,
The color,
Bold and faint.
Aging, the pages
Of an old book.

Yellowed edges,
But the story still so young-
Nothing new
Under the wide
Yellow sun.

Jaundice,
Bile of becoming.
Bittersweet,
Accumulating.

Yellow,
All the days
Will bring me closer
To its light.

The smell of ink
On a page.
Hollow cheeks,
White of my eyes.

Beautiful sickness
Of becoming.
This story now
Is ending.
