Ya MUM - Black

Black is the night sky
the colour of an adult fly.
Black is a cloud of hail
Black is the writing, written on the mail

Black can be many things
things that are big, things that are small
Black are the snakes,
that slowly, very slowly crawl

Black is all around us,
it’s even in our eyes
Black is the colour,
When your death arrives

Ya MUM
