rhapsody in blues

February 14 - February 18 Week 60/72

those who study such things say there

are no birds with blue pigmented feathers

it is a trick of structure, air and waves of light

bouncing and bending into all sorts of avian blues

but as several bluebirds grace a bank of snow

I choose to sink into the timelessness of Gershwin

letting the rich notes of azure, blue-violet and

slate blue rush over me in a wave of joy

not caring whether or not what I see is true
