Colourblind

Colourblind babies see grey, grey, grey

Safe from distinction, for the moment

Lullabies loosen from tongues

Little truths

'til delight bleeds into painful and new

So live your impossible reds and blues

They don't stand a chance with you

Colourblind babies sleep fitful and long

Dreaming of you

Incisions slice meaning for love to stitch up

To comfort cold hands

So live your impossible reds and blues

They don't hold a candle to you
