Ode to black paper

Ode to black paper
Let me write on you
Let me fold you into a origami shape
Or somethin…
You may not know me
But I know you
You’re a page
You’re a sheet
So I write or sketch my bones
On you, for only you to carry me somewhere
But where..
Where are you takin me?
Black paper, black paper
Do people ink love notes in white?
Or in gold?
I would…
Black paper
You need love, too
As much as other objects….
Do you have a poet’s heart?
Are you an airplane
That stuck on ceilin fan?
Or are you just plain?
Ode to black paper,
I love you black paper….
I do…
That’s not a lie,
You do have soul
In your thick,
In your thin,
Maybe I pretend you’re the whole midnight sky
And I make a wish on a star…
Oh black paper
You don’t mind me seein you as midnight sky?
Why not?
