blue nights
and blue feelings
full of thoughts
but blue is not the warmest color

it is a clandestine coalition fraught with
the fear of losing my mind

goosebumps plague my arms
lined with midnight tinted rivers—
blue that is
who blew my cover

an ocean mist
canned
set to do my healing
a stinging shock prior to progression

hot flashes integrated indefinitely
right as rain and
cold as coal
choking on my own greasy innards

sapphire, she screamed
tear stained leaflets of mundane
satisfaction
with the inability to recall
her calling

am I she? and is she
me?
skylight reflecting a genuine
taste for ruby slippers

an insane asylum for
marketing matters
****** upon the
heroic cape
of toxic kryptonite

silly sentiments of the nighttime winds
shades drawn concealing

periwinkle despair
