Heavy Blue Poem

Sad?

My ball bag’s been dragging

ever since my voice changed.

Ever since my mother asked 

me if we were in trouble, I 

knew I was.

How Long? goes the title of the

Blues song…not how long ‘till 

something, just, how long?

The sky is also blue, the color

we see through the clouds of

our sadness.

Blood red…heart blue…

funny, not code red, not

code blue…it is a code,

isn’t it? It’s where the 

sun splits in two.
