blue (the masking poem)
based on some old feelings | I Didn't Say That Out Loud

Keith Urban - Blue Ain't Your Color
keith urban sang that blue wasn't my color
but he doesn't know how well i wear it
twisting through my veins
and going out into the world
as clothing and hair just so
a smile that illuminates
and makes the stars jealous
(for i look as beautiful in blue
as i do in yellow)
eyes made up of thunderstorms
because even blue has power
a storm
drowning me
underneath the surface
of the calmest oceans
