Blue Hour

You can feel a sight

at eight thirty on a summer night

air turns a deep blue

and it stays completely still until you brush it aside

air reflects blue and shoots it out

and now everything is blue

goodbye sun

hello black felt sky

your glimmer is showing

but only in some spots

someone bigger than you and i poked some holes

through a backlit scrap

of undeveloped film

to force the light and the heat through

but that's gone

as the heat leaves

the dark slowly breathes

the air turns blue

for twenty minutes

everything becomes diverse in uniform

you can lay your head between the dirt and the air

hear blue, feel blue.

and then it goes away
