monotone

let me know

when everything runs

and becomes paled

let me know

when all the colour

washes out

let me know

when the fade

becomes the norm

let me know

when we grey

-

let me know

when the light

has been tamed

when all of that bright

has tapered and waned

let me know

when it’s not

so harsh

on my eyes

let me know

when we grey

-

let me know

when the dim

is complete

and all of the colours

have gone

let me know

when the absorption

is done

and this ocular vibrancy

stilled

let me know

when we grey

-

let me know

when the clouds

cover the sun

when shadows stretch

to reach us

let me know

when we go

monotone

let me know

when we grey
