She stands among the grey scape with So many muted colours inside her. But today is a day of monochrome miasmas- Of grey gulls that skim the pewter river With wings that know such measures.
The greyness leeches her to the technicolour World she knew long ago Somewhere down the river.
A cauldron of rage wages above her Filled with the bursts of brigands of Grey restless beauty.
There's a rainbow now!
As it archly Shows its palette she sees the separation Appear ever nearer... Above the rainbow is cobalt Beneath it a merely flat grey.
Underneath her umbrella she enjoys The puttered thwacks of soft water indenting Thin fabric with a firework crack. Suddenly she's back Her shoes are black and her eyes are grey. She wishes everyone was a million miles away. She wishes everyone could stay.
