thinking about black_cecilia white and this city

this city wears black well
pockets of dark desire
bias cut. stretching to fit
bodies of thought –
that muscular space
beyond the avant-garde
and ragged dreams.
each street weaves urban
into states of cool opaque
mind full of self espresso.
uncoloured threads of reverie
hem the wake of workers into lanes
where night-graffitied shutters uncloak
secrets. raw yarns spinning shadows
for the heady days where noir is
the new black this city wears
