Night Green
night green
in my Rembrandt pencil box
is green shade
sharpened
it is a pointed pencil presence
part of a pointillism
part of the paper
part of the picture
night green
in my Rembrandt pencil box
is green shade
not a light green
not a leaf green
not a yellow green
and not too blue
night green
in my Rembrandt pencil box
is green shade
the unknown in every mark
such as the shadows cast
upon and around
as the unconscious past
lives within the dialogue of life
and is only sometimes noticed
but the light not so bright
without green shade
