Afflatus

Pure Blue

Soft as snow you lay your body down

and let the rain tattoo pretty patterns all over

your imperfect skin, let it

fill your gaping mouth, and creep like

clear crystal slugs over your nails, exploring all

your forbidden territories and seeping

past your skin. Like a lover,

pitter-patter, the weight of a single word/raindrop

can crease you up. 

Pure blue, sleek seal skin you have,

smiling in the sunshine with all the yellow

rays and all the light pink transparent hexagons

sparkling the sky. 

Clear as turquoise water stones,

your eyes open and stretch their potential,

lashes all dark and thick and water-splattered. 

Softer now you smile. Needles out and

skin soaked in rain and sunshine.
