Black

Black

 

Black: space of space

And nowhere.

Night against which all day happens,

Sheerly presumed.

But still the etching of the unexpected,

Where between pure meeting of day-colours,

We seem to see Merest twinings of indigo.

 

Black! Don your mask you are.

Black! Slink back to the tomb.

O Black! Now wrap around your cloak.

Unholy Black! How can you still conspire?

O Black!

 

How do you bring nothing against things?

How are you also sumptuous night and holy sleep?
