lucy

a small girl with wings that are light blue
but transparent

light blue, not baby blue or sky blue
a very particular shade of blue

aqua, ultra-clear swimming hole blue

a robin's egg turned rouge blue

a babys eyes before they open blue

a balloon in a childs hand blue

sticky hands

sticky with clover honey

dasies with purple string tied around them

a strawberry sundae, melting in the afternoon sun

sticky, red rivers down the arm

sticky blue

    Fingers, individually cold

    warm when wrapped ‘round my wrist

    Clouds of locusts that

    squeeze out every 

    single
