and in blue...

That train whistle
That boat whistle
Music on the lines of my yellow paper
In my red house
Scallop trim
And
Sunset
Gold on green branch on blue I'm on the telephone
Over the ocean

Reading you

And In Blue
A flurry
Popcorn baseball games and jazz

Poets:
Bob Marley
Jim Morrison
Chet Baker

Chet with his trumpet and voice

"hope - a new constellation / waiting for us to map it," -Richard Blanco, Inaugural Poet...

In my medicine cabinet,
the winter fly stuck a post-it,
Gone surfing.
