Art Of Black Poem by Maria Sudibyo

In your shadow, in your mystery
In your mood, in your desire
In your brutal fight, in your cursed night

The sealing ink, the blind spot
The unsuspected contender, the glamor of unknown
The lovely idiom, the classic style

The gothic fetish, the magic charm
The funeral color, the worn sign
The sneaking agent, the eating hole

When you close your eyes, when the lights fade out
When you paint to hide, when you deep inside
Can you escape from the color of black?
