The Deepest Color I’ve Ever Seen

You know that color you get when you mix all the colors together?
No, not brown.
I’m talking about a different color.
It’s the color
Of a beetle’s legs
Of a crow’s tongue
Of a man’s pupils
Of a southern German forest.
It’s black.
Yes, black, but nothing is blacker than an overcast Kenyan night.
