elegy to her baby blue

send me a breeze, baby blue

maybe i'll swim on that love, to

her speckle-dust cobwebs

fingerstemmed

in her skin

tinting my feathered heart

with her mosaic smile,

shards of a past she screams,

"stay a while,

 

 

baby blue"

long enough to hold her frozen hands,

kicking at the ashes

sift.

sift through*

breaststroke through the debri

 

 

i caught your smile,

and fed it to,

the holes in her heart

wearing her

in

out*

in & out.
