Poetry: Blue, by Tony B

She was

A little girl, laughing
River water wrapped around her ankles

The sun’s reflection on the blue like a pearl studded scarf

A glorious, sparkling rope

That pulled her down when the ground dropped away

Bubbles escaping upwards

In blue

Breath leaving her lips,

A boy pulled her out

And she grew up

To air and sunlight and the blue of the sky

And she lived, but she hated the water

She lived more than the others

She shared her life with us, and traveled

Her garden was a castle’s moat

Once filled with blue, now green

She was wild and proud

And the world came to claim her

Like the motorcycle her friends taught her to ride,

She crashed

On her wedding day, she wore the same color

As the one her husband made her feel:

Blue
