Black and Blue

If I could mute certain shades of blue
this noise would be more bearable
Do you can you can’t you hear that blue
beating pulsing the world around and beyond?
Blue has a pitch beyond bearable.

If I could mute certain shades of blue
I never would have drowned because
the water’s dark deep rising waves of black
like your irises dulled blind
are not as tempting as the blue.

If I could mute certain shades of blue
the forever hazy sky would blaze and billow
and do you can you can’t you hear that blue
her voice which shakes and shames and is unbearable?
Gas billows and blazes blue and burns it all to black.
