almost defiant

"Here you go, open your mouth"
he poured a spoonful of red anxiety into her stomach

"That is sour but thank you"
She rubbed his black hair and sprinkled a handful of white mercy onto his head

What a strange and intriguing fragment, like a painting with three stripes of colour.

Clouds are crying tears in Kuwait, since you have left and didn't wait

Strange indeed, Paul...

Wael, it is raining here and snowing at the same time...Normally we dont see snow in April.

I wish I could make magic strings with these tears to hang them around the necks of those I want near me and pull and pull...Sounds sadistic, huh? :)

paul said it all: fantastic color usage - also, white, red and black are alchemical colors. is there another meaning on yr end?

Why did she accept it to begin with? Why did she treat him with "mercy" in exchange for the anxiety he offered her?

I love your use of color.
