blue_jay/dove

Love is a blue tie
a blue jay
a blue bruise
a red bow
a small hand
a tall man
a orange cat
and a pink hat


in the big chair
by the small girl
the white dog
lay still
the rain fell

and it warmed
the stove
while the young girl
transformed
into a dove

purple ink blotches
fell
down
on white paper

the cat scratched
and breathed

the little girl
faded into adulthood\
and her mother flew by
a small bird
in a purple vest
