Genuflecting

 

Genuflecting

 

 

It’s not blue of course it’s not blue but it’s called blue

when it happens too soon after the last one all those

seasonal days making a headway we want to pause on

 

but what’s the cause is beyond us I think it’s tried

the explanation is given in some mathematical equation

her revolution in companion to an earth’s

 

revolution and those stints in season a skies way of saying

it is time it is tuning frequency it is giving her calculated phases

doesn’t every lady need one freak-out every so often?

 

though following her descent into the far horizon a fog

is rising like modesty like quiet applause like standing

ovations rise before and clapping first is knees cracking
