Linen & Litmus

The tail of the kite

Is a beak pinched shut

By the wind spellbinding

Spellcasting

Forlorn is the clamp

Forlorn is the vaguest grey

Not a color but a shade

Not a breath but a breeze

For grey is nothing

Painted on the litmus paper

Not a color but a shade

Not a shout

But the faintest mutter

The tail of the kite

Clamped forlorn

In the wind spellbinding

Is a faint nothing

A speechless grey
