Indigo
Somewhere...
the paintbrush ends, and
flesh, begins--
absorbing pigments, meant
for methemoglobin skin.
So blue.
Undeniably noticeable.
They immerse in color
of royalty, casually (suttlely)
draped as if taunting
lapis lazuli
to be jealous of indigo's weather-worn
hues.
Each day is greeted
with the sweat of toil on taut muscles,
paying homage to
the green-skied dawn.
Some have built dreams on sand, while
they have built theirs
on stone and spheres, with
a blue so becoming
that even angels held their breath
for a moment.
