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
