If each component of attraction has a
hue
within the spectrum of the desire,
then on one’s screen for colourful
completion
they come together purely as white
in theory, with light.
The finding seemed improbable, nigh
impossible – indeed
I had experienced only platonic shades
of grey
until the medium changed, with her.
So after all this time, there she was
the swan painted elegant ebony:
prism surpassed by palette.
