Cobalt Blue

Starry Starry Night            
  how hard you fuel              
  their fiery soul;              
             
    blue-black backdrop              
      a feathered crow              
    glimmering in the moon;              
             
One hundred thousand              
million stars, unspooled              
  amid a fabric bolt              
             
  of endless cobalt blue              
             
Starry Starry Night              
  how your brush              
  ensnaring space          
             
  swirls across a canvas              
     blank, capturing              
  what can't be caught              
             
One hundred thousand              
million strokes, in unison              
  create our view              
             
  in endless cobalt blue              
       
Starry Starry Night      
  how your blood        
  did flow forthright        
       
  how the hand gun        
    stained the wood      
  falling from your grip          
       
One hundred thousand      
million drops, flooded red  
  the delta of your wound      
       
  from arterial cobalt blue. . .
