Black
Once again, I find the days
are framed in funeral black.
Mine eyes of grey cannot convey
the colours that they lack.
So I cross the breeze to the silver trees
that have all but lost their sheen.
Too tense to yawn, I swallow the dawn
and reflect in the still-born stream.
Like a scar, I bear your star
now gone supernova.
Yet the falling rain won't forget your name
and whispers it over and over.
