Indigo Muse

Hi Vanity - some good lines but it looks like you've given up at various places in between.
A case in point being 'cute things'
I assume that you were too tired to edit! But good luck on the next iteration 

Indigo Muse

Mornings, I hear, are full of bright yellow chirpy things.    ....is the 'I hear' necessary? Also, 'things' sounds a bit half hearted. A species name might help.

There is also fresh coffee, and anticipation. 
The spiders are pissed and the slugs have slid away.  ....why would the spiders be pissed? Were they drinking all night?

Now the fat little rusty red robins hop through my yard.
And squirrels bounce across the neon grass.  .....I like 'neon': it's a fresh adjective 
A Disney song is queuing. I lower the blind.
Not enough Earl Grey yet.    .....what about the coffee? Looks like you've forgotten all about it

If morning is yellow, night is blue.   ..I don't see what the 'if' does. Besides, nothing other than the chirpy things are yellow.

Evening slides in like an old lover. 
It thrums with creativity.   .....a vague and bombastic line
Night is the color purple, navy, indigo
bruised like a ripe plum.     .....evening or night? I suppose you mean 'like a bruised ripe plum'. What does 'bruised' achieve?

The tree line looks like black lace against the sky.
Cute things hide and predators roam free.  ....'cute things'? Come on
Green marble eyes stare steadily, and telegraph nothing.
Lightning bugs sparkle-
cicadas whine and shake like castanets.
The pond frog croaks like a metronome.
Humanity breathes slow and deep.
Around me, there is palpable unconsciousness,
eyes darting through incarnate dreams-- and
Sleep soaks in like rum on a fruitcake.

My privacy is total, an oubliette.
I chew my pen cap,
sitting in a creamy oval of porchlight,
in a chipped white Adirondack chair.
I'm safely unneeded and undisturbed.
Breathing in the fecund green air,
I scribble thoughts wildly.
I'm not in this world really.
My body resides--but my gaze --
turns up to the stars I do not see.
