Black & Colour

can i dictate in
black & white
and have us
dancing in the rain,
middle of the
street,
still shots
flecked gray
lying on the grass,
watching the sky
spit out
stars?

can i capture you
in colour?
peel away every layer
to reach the
negatives?
splash paint to
lighten the load you've
forced on yourself,
and help you find
who you really
are?
