I REMEMBER YOU IN SEPIATONES Felipe Campano I remember you in sepiatones Muted tans and stained white That show me the broader strokes The black and the white Colorless but for the splash of sepia That my memories have thrown in To allow you that room to still feel vibrant The details are blurred The lines on your face feel colder Those colors that used to ring loud like bells They lived burning and resonating in my heart Until the lines in the ashes revealed the ending I was so afraid of The touch of the film is so lifeless It’s almost painful That warmth and simple romance Is violently shattered by the hard paper That lines the corners of our photos And cuts gashes in the space between Me and then I remember you in sepiatones Harshly Trying so hard to keep that warmth alive But drowning in the cold of that color Of angry, sputtering sepia 31
