Blue

now

inside

passing autumn's

blue

wind

just like a 

Giacometti

blue bronze 

sculpture

pulling

solitude's 

gloom's

straightline's

long

blue 

shade

suffused with

white and blue

stripes

ocean's

blue,

viewer's

thin back

also

blue

Black Portrait

hopelessness's

alcohol's

purple

mustache

or shadow's

egg

inside

cage

of

bones

distance

of night

of death's

turtle

solitude is

wetted

by

black

rain

rotting

in

ladder

shape

that

wall

that brittle

cone's

lonely

part
