She is Blue
Ekphrastic poem written while looking at "Melancholy Woman" by Pablo Picasso
she sits and stares, a stone-cold statue of
blue
back beside bare brick blocks of a brutal
blue
stoically sober she lingers, sick of seeing
blue
her bare heart bending, beating, bleeding
blue
salutations sweet surrender, so much for stable
blue
beneath the bulk she’s brittle, she breaks below
blue
silent sound of “ssss” slips out like silk stained
blue
from berry-kissed lips breathing breaths of bitter
blue
should a shell so hollow, so solidly
blue
be best bowled away from the barren
blue
or ought it scatter sumptuously into several shades of
blue
until it borders a cavernous basin brimming brightly
blue
submerged, she seeks to shirk the sundry questions from
blue
a bold, breezing apparition, bypassing insatiable, cruel
blue
a soft, "Bye," she blows, slithering by
shades of blue shrivel black, see the
blue
in her eyes
