after Seamus Heaney
Black is the color of political lying.
Black is the color of Ruth Bader Ginsberg.
Black is the color of Steve Jobs.
Black is the color of Bruce Lee.
Black is the color of rage in Hong Kong.
Black is the color of Toni Morrison .
Black is the color of the parish priest
walking to visit his sick.
Black is the color of the cat crouching in the green grass.
Black is the color of poetry.
Black is the color that turns into diamonds.
Black is all the colors I absorb from you.
