LITANY

‘…of grey have no fear…’ David Peace
the blade
the knife
the breath
the prayer
the shining lead
the black the white
the sharpened point
the heartbeat slowed
the many shades of grey
the washing of the hands
the tearing of the squares
the labour before the labour
the rituals of the preparation
the rituals of the preparation
the labour before the labour
the tearing of the squares
the washing of the hands
the many shades of grey
the heartbeat slowed
the sharpened point
the black the white
the shining lead
the prayer
the breath
the knife
the blade
