Blue Note
because of one
blue moon
I sail along
on the current
of yesterday’s dream
like a blue
note in a jazz scale
you improvise
the tonality of
our shifting love
scaling
the blue mountain
I’m closer
to touching the sky
than your heart
I wait. Finally, on the branched stems just above matte filar leaves, loose sprays
of the “Blue Mirror” delphinium.
Once more I mix the oils on my palette and patiently test each shade, tone
and hue. I seek this blossom’s intrinsic blue and would claim possession of it.
