If I said – crying in winter

The cardigan’s drastic stain of blue

On the mere edge of the collar

 

If I said, blue nails on those slight smothered fingertips

Of the girl with weary eyes

Grasping a notebook in the dark

Holding on to her dear life.

 

If I said, ocean eyes dwelling from a distant –

Or drowning in the temporary excitement lingered autumn wind

On a bland day in between the space outside this world

 

Blue, I said. Inflicted, blue.
