INTO THE BLUENESS

Blue, you've been my color since the beginning. 

I'm drawn to your deep blue shadows gracefully 

reclining on January snow, your purply-blue violets 

sprouting in new spring grass, the wise blue-gray eyes 

of my mother, the blue serge uniform I wore 

at Catholic school, skirt hiked up an inch or two 

to show off my legs, blue-petaled cornflowers 

in Grandma's garden, my intensely dark-blue 

lapis pendant, sky blue water, blue denim, 

shiny blue buttons. I've always liked you best, blue. 

It's extraordinary how you fill a space 

with your dedicated fragments of heaven.
