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

Fleece

Thin red ribbon ’round its nape

So white you’ll wear ’round yours

Shallow breath

They’ll see your shine

And not think you’ve dark doors

Blame its bright and fault its fleece

Fool a million minds

Open wide your stained soul’s gate

And empty’s all they’ll find
