BLUE IS (POEM)

                         Blue Is

crystal deep

powder pale

edge of cloud

time of night

turn of smoke

birth of rain

noon of never

     blue is

saxophone

     filtered over

cobblestone

     blue is

half of black

     blue is

tongue of beast

     blue is

steel minus fire

     blue is

inside ice

     blue is

some kinds of motion,

some kinds of stillness.

Blue is woman's breath.

Blue is North,

hollow,

round.
