Speech And Zero Poem by Sharron Stephenson

the colour of the sky
the depth of the sea
the red of blood
the race of speech

the cards of wisdom
the trick of the hand

the darkness of the mind
the rain of steel
the silk of love

the look of zero

the sense of passion
the fruit of assets
the face of a humans heart
the soul of a child
the movement of fear
the lines of bruises
the skin covered by hate

my hand in the hand of a stranger
the arm of a friend
