Daye 73 / Sky Blue

C.o.M. is sky blue
sky blue tower blocks
sky blue streets
airliner dreaming as it sails over the city
sky blue vapour trail in the sky blue sky
huge shadow passing over the parks
and the rivers and gardens
cutting the city in half
the north and the south
and north is strange
people stop what they are doing
to gaze up into the sky
and some of them see nothing at all
except the sky blue of the city
and the sun
raining down sky blue light
onto the meadows
and onto the people that walk through them
or live in them

the lake is covered
by the sky blue dog of a mountain shadow
and the trees that circled it
have been cut down
their warm sap mixes with the gold sand
as what's left of the forest
waves and weaves itself skyward
sings it's lonely song
and people stop what they are doing
and gaze into the distance
some of them hear nothing at all
except the sky blue hum of the city
and the sun
singing down sky blue light
onto the meadows
onto the people that walk through them
or live in them

sky blue lightning creeps along my arm
it dreams and glows and grows
and fills the spaces between
the masts and minarets
there is a naked singularity
where the skyline suddenly plummets into sky blue nothingness
and from children's mouths come strange songs
of the electricity of love and of sky blue pink
childe with the sky blue hair
combs out her tresses beneath the sky blue august moon
and leans out over the balcony
people stop what they are doing
to look into her mirror
some of them feel nothing at all
except the sky blue breezes drifting from the city
and the sun
pressing down sky blue light
onto the meadows
onto the people that walk through them
or live in them
