Blue

Blue is more than the ocean
or the endless sky
blue is a song
and a state of mind

From the hostile navy
to the peaceful lavender
or from the electric and sexy curacao
to your eyes, turquoise

“- but shut up, baby blue
cause I’m not done yet”
Blue is what is not green
while part yellow
blue is the tear
running down your cheeks
cloud and tornado
hurricane and storm

Not pink, nor red
but the color in which love grieves
like Etta
so Chicago, so New York
and while some I may offend
blue is much more American
than French
like the Pacific
or the crystal clear mirror
where I can see that we hurt
in the same extent that we love
and in the end, it’s all just blue
