Revolution, No. 1

The gray of the day

was so complete

that it bleached the woods 

of all color 

save one

and that one was nearly overwhelmed

by the grueling singularity of 

the Gray 

and that one 

bleeding

damp

snatch of color was

a Surprise and 

a Promise and

all the Hope I needed

It was - 

Ha! - 

a Revolution
