Tangled in Blue

 The inhumanity of blue

Turquoise numbers contaminated my friend Mr. Goldberg's forearm
And humanity 

Dad basked in the defiance of Malcom 
Not Martin's azure tranquility 
Ultimately dad's cut down
Cobalt steel from behind the blue wall 

Today I'm tattooed 
A number
"Call it if you're arrested."

blue wall 

March 

Past 
Through 
Over 

For a boy eating candy, some of it 

blue 


Her blue song 

Trade my blue smoked mountains
because you wanna surf?

Trade serving blue plate specials
for whatever I can get?

Trade my womb one more time
because you want a son?

Trade my value as a woman
because your life as a man
Hasn't begun?

Untangled from you,
I traded for him.
