An Ode to the Dark
An Ode to the Dark Freshly brewed cups of coffee.
Warmth on palms,
a dark fragrance lifting you out of sleep.
Black birds. Crisp sable shapes lending vibrance to winter skies.
Black soil. Cool to the touch, damp smell of life.
Black licorice. Sweetness cloaked in tang and spice.
Black ink. Midwife of creativity.
Shiny black shoes. You can’t help but move your feet in shiny black shoes.
A breath of shade when heat grips too tight.
The decadence of chocolate cake.
The usefulness of cast iron.
The swirl of shadow from a pencil point.
The scent of cloves.
