BLUE
LOVE IS BLUE
In my summer haunts an icy pall
as I pick my way down a hill It feels
like days ago under hazy sky I walked
with slow defiance
Now The Great Upheaval tempts us
indoors where the A.G.O. cleverly?
leads us toward: war-sounds
Then to gift shop crammed with Art Deco
In the centre of the show there is a
jagged affair A love that has turned blue
Breath held through embrace No escape
Flowers will bloom where seed spills Soon
winter will be jettisoned indefinitely
Art patrons dash for the exits & limp out
onto streets It is -17
Somewhere in the distance as melancholy melts
a woman with a polka dot dress & cubist face
raises her head and screams
