The Jack Wood coal

we are the coal under the sole
we are the silence in every room
tangled in grey hair
colour of our choler
we are the sons of uniform
dew drops on animal's fell
remember
and you'll be forgiven
remember
it will save you
blind coal, count my fingers slow
red red cream and gold sky blue emerald white and purple dark cold grey flame black
it may be a hot spot on your eye
it may be scale of a mermaid
