whitegreyblack

Mary Theresa Joseph

colors gone
no fuschia
puce
seafoam
cadmium
mustard

brighter & brighter
brightest
just a dream

reality looms
pale
transparent
colorless

a photograph
2 dimensional
lacking depth
a movie
images going by
a screen
a filter

greyscale
absence of everything
lacking
negative
opposing
contrasting only itself
fading
all but gone
