Daniel Fuller: Indifference

Indifference
I do not find the height so sad anymore,
not lately with the mist, so poorly attached,
as it is, to the ground where she stands
—even the grey rain is blackened
by this affliction, pried
from the very sense of its beginning to fall.
Still my fear is in the colours,
that they are seared on breath—indeed
that they are the last of such impressionism;
beauty will not close the distance
and my voice is too worn to leap
over such a chaos of indifference.
