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.
