Only
the box of 96 crayolas contains midnight blue
by

idnight
blue is blue tinted black
green tainted purple: dark, with a hint of light
Midnight blue
fabric can only be silk
dye in the translucent housing of electronics
causes technical difficulties
car I would drive fast, alone
platter I'd seldom use, so little food would
be worthy
platter would sing kiwi and mango
or
stilton, jarlsberg, gouda, together with little knives
|
|
ii. |
Gray pebbles ruffle the corroded
concrete of my back walk;
among them shines one coral-colored stone
if it were midnight blue
I would never step on it
I would polish it with my naked toe
|
|
iii. |
Animal winds whisk waves
to a froth, slam
trees, solitary girl
out in the first eclipse
she wouldn't come in |
