Darkest Blue

The depths of my infertility

I imagine were blue.

Nooo,

Not sky blue.

Dark blue.

The part of the ocean

You can’t explore.

Beyond that.

A blue you can’t even

Comprehend,

Lit up only by the light

Of a creature

You fear to discover.

The creature’s light

I imagine is yellow.

A buried ray of sunshine

Far below the surface.

I thought only monsters lived

This deep.

The surface it guided me towards

I imagine is green.

You know that green

You think is blue,

But really it’s green?

Yet you put your hand through it

To discover really

There’s no color

At all.

You surface.

You breathe.

You persevere.

You swim.

In blues,

And greens,

Then purple,

Then grays,

A red boat,

An orange fruit,

Goodness.

A world of colors now

From the monster

I followed

In the darkest of blues.
