Breathing Blue

Contest

By Monera MasonPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

My friend blue

Showed up

At the party

In skys that

Lucy pictured

Bluegrass rounds

The sweet

Honey

Curves

Of that red songstress

Who ripped out your heart

In a single trill

Baby baby

Maybe

The Bardo

Quakes

With you

Azul waves

Wash the cold icy

Depth

Across the Carmel

Of my thighs

This is how you left us

Fuck you

Sapphire drowning

Souls suffocating

Under the weight

Of sins inherited

From throats cut

In gifts of aide

Alprazolam is a liar

And face down

Breathes cotton

Of the privilege

That hubris paid

The blood price for

When we stole the

Turquoise

Predatory beast

Chasing hungry ghosts

Into lapis oblivion

We had a son

And it was golden

Now it's just

You

Us

And the everlasting

Aquamarine
