About the poem and the process of composing it, Deborah writes:

After choosing a book from the public domain, Manual of the Science of Colour on the True Theory of the Colour-Sensations and the Natural System, I skimmed through the text and compiled a selection of words and phrases. After combining them to create stanzas with meaningful context, I rearranged the stanzas into the form of the poem.
