Powder blue, Celeste, Periwinkle, Baby (2017)

Powder blue, Celeste, Periwinkle, Baby;

the tones of the sky, winds of a lady

   fierce; Teal and Viridian, crossing lights eyes

  Indigo watched, their verdure her prize


as mother Zafire her Indigo embraced

giving horizon a  long Steel pause; Cyan his face

   etched empty promise, Cornflower-lies,

   skin of soul's ceiling, Palatinate demise


devolving Royal Duke Dodger, their cards in the trash

by Ultramarine's ocean stairs stares Iris, smashed;

   plural the blue in varied display,

   Byzantine mirror of peace portrayed


  action describing, the morph and her flavor

  his tongue yon mountain, a glacial savor
