Deep

Suddenly, vibrating warm air and deep colours:
a storm approaching - or passing over.

Sticky

The office pot-plant crouches miserably on the window-sill: a thick layer of sticky black dust coats its once shiny leaves.

(after writing this I washed it and talked nicely to it)

Noisy

Deserted office after hours, but noisy still: a tumult of voices funnelled upwards in the cleft between buildings and a roar of low-flying aircraft funnelled downwards.

Grey

The man is all grey - hair, clothes, aura. He moves so slowly. Doesn't want to get to where he's going. Doesn't want to get to anywhere.

Cool

On a warm day the cool pleasure
of clothes holding skin less tightly,
skin holding flesh less tightly.

Mournful

Baggy, mournful eyes,
ears of long, grey, silky hair -
spaniel woman.

Red-black and blue-black

Cherry and blueberry
Red-black and blue-black
Shiny and velvetty
Bite one and suck one
Neither too sweet
