black and white

by jan oskar hansen - Scorpio

Black & White.


Once I sat on a cliff top, feet dangling,
Spitting down a gorge looking at a pale
Sunset. Then it was night and a grey 
Moon did little to enhance the nocturnal 
Hours. A seraph came took off her blond
Wig and scratched her bald head, with 
Nicotine stained fingers; she had star
Dust on her black wings, which made her
Look untidy and full of dandruff, her eyes,
Alas, was made of ice cubes. Now, with 
The invention of colours, heavenly spirits 
Wear all white, paint their toenails pink, 
Rouge and lipstick make them look alike, 
But enchanting in a sexless sort of way.
A golden moon makes nights romantic
And under an orange sun and azure sky
Even poverty looks picturesque.
