orange is a colour that lets me talk
for as long as i could possibly need.
but it stops
my endless
anxious spill
of spat out
somewhat words.
orange
will sit
and listen,
when wanted.
a serene silence that is chosen
and not commanded.

Over the course of 2022, a select group of young writers was invited to take part in a year-long writing program at Story Factory. Their goal was to produce a collection of poetry. This is one of the collections produced in these workshops.
Year of Poetry 2022 was supported by the Copyright Agency’s Cultural Fund and Parramatta Leagues Club.
