A Solitary Blue

Pausing to pick up a penny, love stumbles in
Staged as a love with those properties
that lead stage fright, like a bull to red tope
immutable redness—alert and acquiescent

Jitters, fast and determined
hardly pausing to narrate the swiftness
but in sudden misconstrue
squaws throw in the discernible barbell features
the grooves of movement now appear as gashes

a frigid logic mounts, activating a mind’s elegy
Bliss camouflages in the horizon
Departure leaves the mind with baggage
A solitary blue—
vast and immutable
