The earliest of colored pictures of

Him shows him dressed in blue, but not a blue

Of firmness, not a strong one.  Pastel love

Perhaps was its prediction.  Pale is true,

Though, also.  Manliness is not required

To be one hue.  Maleness also comes

In mixtures, primary pigments inspired

By other flavors added.  Difference hums

Along beneath, perhaps above the main

Tune, even changing it, the way that white

Turns navy into dawn tints.  Let it gain

Some sweetness.  Does the soul become more slight?

..No.  It retains its place within the plan

….The spectrum spread.  That man is still a man.
