Whitemare
- William Gillespie
Whitemare
White as night
White as op
White as might
White as cop
White as soil
White as pit
White as oil
White as shite
White as grave
White as coal
White as slave
White as shadow soul
White as bruise
White as wrong
White as ink that tells the news
White as dreadful night is long
White as race
White as toxic offshore slick
White as deepest lifeless space
White as ravens ravenously pick
White as plague, the feudal age
White as tar, how stuck we are
White as type on textbook page
White as gravity’s collapsed, dead star
