Blue

Wendy Raimi


I hate my
reliance on
you, blue.

I am blind
without you.

And all you do
is sit and stare.

You hurt me
strike me at
the temples
rip out the bridge
of my nose.

You don't care blue.
They say you'll make
me better blue.
But I know it's
not true.

If I had a choice,
I'd live without
you, blue.
