original: to blue ...
bring me blue & leave me here ...
to harden
rocked by spray of blue
capable & precise
with absolute bearing
bring me blue & leave me here
where hours & bones
strength & trust collide in the wounded starshine
solitude made fragile by wind &
water gloriously unearthed
bring me blue & leave me here
bone-chilled surrender rolling into
sapphire wickedness
aqua infinite
winds warm
complete
smooth water open
vast & blue
calling
me
home
to a time under the whiteness of moon
to a time in the bleed of day
yet
earth & sky i have always known
tender amongst the open fields of golden wheat, milo & corn silk
i am a child of the plains & prairie
