Black and White
He had black hair in hexing curls, so nth
That they caused cursing in the heavens. She
Held up a fan, white, silk. These caused a length
Of mesmerizing love. These colors, free
Of him or her, would register as nought.
Because of masculinity and mind
That burgeoned blackness, though, became as fraught
And full as perfect poetry aligned
With hypnotizing love and Christ. Her white,
Splayed fan would only be a shape, a null,
Except that she was there as if God’s light
Had flowed. The fan and she combined to cull
The other loves and colors. All were gone.
Black Sabbath’s midnight force met primal dawn.
