67. BlueI used to walk the skylinesMore Like This
blue
Under blooming stars
a field of forget-me-nots
in the periwinkle sky
sparkle underwater, whispering "hi"
Under my feet
the sidewalk gleams cerulean
with spider blood
and lanterns of butterfly heartbeats
dance bright, lighting up the streets
Under some childish wonder
we created coloured rooms
side by side: red and blue
until the day it was no longer true
I
gift wrapped an airport for you,
my darling,
wrapped in the faintest idea
of how I remembered the sky to be
But when we untied the strings -
golden dreams on morning wings
it wasn't so blue after all.
