White

I maintain

I could have done without the black

I had to look a second time, and then a sixth

I see it still in the most unremarkable places

I looked upward and Life appeared

I saw its red against the White

I feel the black come over me

I eye up red against the white

To Life

I know you spoke gently to her 

With just the right answer in your eyes

To match the question in hers

Since there was music

She moved closer 

And you made the most of the dark, I know
