I like this poem (I didn't write it)

[sbrengle]

Pleased to meet you Yellow. My name’s blue. By Derrick C Brown

You came swiftly across the sea.
I hovered there, thirty miles outside of Galapagos
Placed myself in the screams of rivaled winds.
I hovered there for years alone
Feeding on everything blue
Shark fins, sea spray, desire,
Memory, and floating blue berries

But you came swiftly across the sea
Took away my death-though I guarded it
Held my defeat by the neck and outsmarted it
The ice in my breath floated before you
A crystal field of all my fears.

I was just getting used to the blueberries.

But you spun that warm ginger light
Sent it spilling from the gold blaze of gasoline eyes
Melted my breath
Melted the pumping thing inside
You said Hello Blue, my name’s yellow
And I said Awwwww…
Wow

I was stricken
I was struck
I was a bad joke about a duck in a bar
That no one ever laughs at
But Yellow, she laughs
Because she’s a laugher
And she’s not even drunk

I say Yeah Yeah
I want to be something wonderful and ridiculous and Yellow
Do you mean like margarine?
No I mean I want you firecracker smile
I want you jacaranda kiss Yellow
I want your timelessness inside my eyeballs.

The way snow falls to earth
Yellow whispers to Blue
Would you be green with me forever?
I do I do I do
