Black, Blue's Dream of Knowing
Black, Blue’s dream of knowing
Today, eyes heavenward, an unclouded
blue unto eternity. Look up. Swim
this fathomless sea far as perspective
can carry. Leave behind L.A. Leave used
shores brown as inversion’s earthbound air. Out
past even the strongest of gulls. Beyond
the reaching dust of wings, beyond soundings.
Here, no news of polluted bays; no news
of consequence of run-off. Treated
effluvium of the massed means nothing
to us oared, masted with eyes unbroken.
Night, quiet eddy of the day’s blinking,
is not the domain of dreams for nothing.
Here, eyes unfocus fearless of shipwrecks.
