deposition · the slow falling of small things
the colour of library when no one has been in it for a week. the
colour of the top shelf in kitchen. the colour of every object in the
basement once you have stopped looking at it.
dust is the most patient pigment. it does not wait to be made; it is
always being made, by everything. it is the colour of the building
itself when no one is in it. it is what every room reverts to.
between ochre and pearl. a memory of light. it does not stain. it
accumulates, then settles, then keeps still.
