R.A.D. Stainforth ... radiant in his black and white world ...
Venus-transit,
come
full spectrum,
radiate
voluptuous,
without
the slightest discoloration;
enough
to chase away all blandness
and
the blackest of dogs.
Step
out of monochrome
to
highlight small things;
the
scent of stray fingers,
poison
lips that hum
the
sound of summer,
roam
shy smiles,
with
the most wild
and
orderly interplay.
