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.
