Blueberry Tears
o O
O oHer tears are sweet and blue -
frosty, misty, navy blue
Tonight, her knees are scraped maroon
And so, blueberry water streams down in diamond drops
from two magma lakes - her lava-lamp-like eyesHer lips have tasted ashes
They have tasted the sugarless cherry pies -
the boys with blood-red jelly hearts
and leather-bound lies,
dark, dark, tough lies - boys bound to dieIn the morning, her tears are dried
by see-through fingers - the ghosts in her hands
Stains glisten on her cheeks; magenta violet
Blueberry tears were smashed with such violence
& the memories flicker in her heart the best they canA bat with amethyst wings flies out of her chest tonight
and the sorrow seeps out - a sigh of relief
Yet she cries some more,
but now the tears are sane - crystal clear
A new-found sereneIt’s amazing what a good cry can do
