poem challenge: Music
IceGalaxy

synesthesia

i close my eyes
turn on headphones
spend a good portion of time fiddling with bluetooth
press play.

color

everywhere.

like through a 
vr set. 
silver dashes on this side of the room
yellow bursts on this side of the room.

everything moves
everything has color
nothing is plain.

if i could take what i see in my head
put it to words
or draw it
or creat a vr program where you can see
what i can see

you would see why
music is so important to me.
