If Blue Were Blue

It could possibly be magnetic

Something in the caligraphy of my actions

I cannot control

When the wind blows

I follow

 

If the word had not been abandoned

I would swear this was perfection

My marauder

My undoing

 

Speckles of tranquility settle

At the bottom of my subconscious

Like sediments in a lake

Slowly it thickens

Slowly I am no longer the fraud

 

Now I open my eyes into miles of sand

Looking to the sun with eyes closed

An insect sheds its skin so delicately

That he appears a ghost

 

And if blue were blue

I would already be gone

The twisting kaleidoscope of colour

Confused for one shade

Again the corners turn in

Becoming a cocoon
