“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.
