“Blue”

Blue veins in pale skin
Moonlight casts shadows on both
And makes the room dark.
    Moonlight casts shadows
    Not so blue like the movies
    But black and blade-sharp
Not so blue like the
Blush of an old bruise rising
Made pale by make-up
    Blush of an old bruise
    Tender with hidden scorn and
    A boy’s foolishness
Tender with hidden
Ways to discipline wayward
Sons who need to learn
    Ways to discipline
    A stupid selfish moron
    Respect your old man
A stupid selfish
Humiliation; tonight
He learns his lesson
    Humiliation
    Tomorrow’s colourful news
    The moon’s sunny side
Tomorrow’s colour
Red-blooded father and son
Facing his mistake
    Red-blooded father
    Hiding what must be done with
    Blue veins in pale skin.
