Happy Black

There is no light here.

No color; no happiness.

There is only an echo of darkness.

The only consistent cry:

     Please have mercy.

The sediment grows;

layer on top of layer;

building nothing but black.

Just try and place color here.

HA! It will just be consumed by the black.

You don't like the darkness, I hear.

Better let it consume you;

Let it become you.

Accept the black.

It is here to stay.
