From the blue word
Lashuward :
A gemstone thrown
Skyward ;

Pyrite, calcite, and lazurite :
Flecks of mica in the skynight,

An endscene ultramarine—
An afterlight
Reflected from
Bluebright

Shortwaves scattered allure ;
The third eye peers beyond azure .

She’s in the sun,
The solar wind,
A prominence
Tickling her skin,
My feline friend—
She is my mythic one .

Defiable, reliable,
And right now,
She’s quite pliable
Lounging, yet crouching
In the sun .

Far and wide to the four pillars, Sky Daddy surveyed from his throne of lapis lazuli ; not a single point escaped scrutiny across the flatland he had ball-peened out—just so.

The radioactive decay into plumbum
Because lead is magic,
Doubly so.

Forecasting an island of flerovium
Beyond the stable valley,
Heavier though.

MOTHER FELL AND BROKE HER HIP . I asked my lying sister–in–law how it happened .

— [bitchy] She fell because of those slippery socks you gave her .

— [skeptical] Hmm .

Later, again on the phone :

— Mother, did you fall because of those socks I gave you ?

— No . I tripped over that stupid dog .

The dog in question : little, white bulldog .

A couple of weeks later, I visit my recuperating mother . Everyone is in the living room when Mother warily creeps around the edge of the room .

— Mother . What are you doing ?

— That dog is trying to kill me !
