Grey
His life has been grey.
Grey, like his clothes.
Grey, like his house.
Grey, like his cigarette’s smoke.
Grey, like the winter- in which his Jack arrived.
Blue like the sky, his eyes.
White like the snow, his skin.
Black like raven’s plumage, his hair.
Yellow like the sun, his shining heart.
One summer he spoke of green meadows.
Turquoise lakes.
Hazelnut horses.
Violet mountain tops.
Colorful days on a mountain, Brokeback Mountain.
Colors, which - thanks to Jack - brought light in his dark life, even though he would never see them.
So, in the end… in the end, again, there was just grey.
Grey, like his wife’s face.
Grey, like his son’s ashes.
Grey like everything that was left and all he ever had.
