The Monochrome
show me the nightof your past draped across
the canvas of a photograph unretouched, black and white
the binary world and wereduced to its binary rules
the kingdom of gray shadesand hues; you can color my doubts, if you like
take off some of that varnish,the monstrous monochromepeel it off
and see what’s beneath itdon’t listen to the nagging of the clocks
those ungodly gods looking downon us from the tall towersthe modern mountaintops lofty
and detached pushing us backback further into the past
