Black is surely not a colour, lacking
even any hue, and death isn’t black
either unless you close your eyes to back
away into your bluest mind, blacking
stars, Moon, love, all colours except for blue,
stitched in our genes as soon as we behold
sky in any season, our senses rolled
all into one sentimental breakthrough,
holding our life together like a scroll,
Genesis: I adore you in the dark,
Exodus: I will never forget you,
Leviticus: I will leave you my heart,
Numbers: I love you, let me count the ways,
Deuteronomy: I will love you always.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.
