Black and white
Colour is oozing away
slowly, almost invisible
an image on an old photo
the red lesser red
the blew becomes lighter
with the years even more
the grey draws in
sallow and blurred
a bit less shiny
just not yet evening
time, the blotting paper
is sucking out the paint
out of the palette
in the absence of sight
I dye the words
in black and white.
