BLUE IS A FUGITIVE COLOR
by
Sharon Auberle
It
is the color of ambiguous depth,
of
the heavens and of the abyss at once…
~
Alexander Theroux
Do you remember that night
I said I would have to leave?
Under a blue moon
in
Clem & Ursie's Bar
you
asked would I walk toward
something or away
and I said a horizon
is
what I need,
a
road rising to meet me.
Dante's 9th Circle
but
ice
yet blue light
has
the energy to escape ice
and
remain visible.
Too
often invisible to you I became
blue
is
a fugitive color
fades
quicker than any other.
