What is the colour of silence?
...
You know its formaldehyde smell
Funeral parlour tricks
Preserving corpses like
It makes a fucking difference.
...
Dry retch taste
In the back of your
Throat chokes
Words stillborn before
They can be spoken
Leaving only
Silence.
...
But what is its colour?
...
White is the colour of
Nothing.
...
Death the eternal
Nothing.
..
White the true colour of
Death
The eternal silence.

Well that made me very sad. I really like the nuanced emotions coming thru. I felt the cynicism quite strongly.
