The colour's gone, stolen
by a photograph,
it hides in shades of grey.
A finger of light shoots
across the petals,
its beam leads across
the captured skin,
towards invisible nails.
Forever on the hand,
the rose has reproduced,
cloned itself by film,
yet the colour's gone,
no room for it
in a black and white world.
