Impressed by the fluent Arabic
and
French speaking young merchant
I purchase a deep purple
garment
which I cannot wear; it makes
me
feel too weirdly oblique
Dark purple, the colour of
storms and
dire weather’s clouds at sunset
– if
truthfully used it offsets
other hues with
aplomb, but alone a
one-dimensional
purple is deplorably wretched
Too late to take it back - in
bohemian
haste I cut off the label,
no-one dates
me with manufacturer’s shtick
so I’m
stuck with a purple so deep its
only
use is in Death’s dark domain
