blue

blue days that start with blue are not always
blue
they only get bluer in all bluest brilliance
~
super hero pencil boxes, pens, black ink
shoe art, paints, miniatures, camera
breathless
~
"I'm more beautiful than you are" that invites
sudden laughter and foolish grins -
one of those moments
~
too costly for what they are worth
rugs and shirts (that do not button down)
but still shirts, let them go
~
"not the right shade, nor the right size"
ear rings are not so easy to choose
easy bargains for lack of sheen
~
the streets promise the usual
scrambled eggs and steaming coffee
and laughter
~
a movie, two women and a place
and emotional complications, it ends
with things hanging somewhere there
~
beautiful sad music, folk songs
all in an unknown tongue - secret
wish: I was born that, that I understood
~
no tea, luck not so bad, there is coffee
and conversations and blueberry
and realizations
~
then a goodbye.
