A Separate Blue

Simple, subdued, the flakes
Are lowered like marionettes
On slow strings
Making their peace with
Puddling spring

One man told me
He’d seen four seasons
In a single day
I thought
I have seen the passing seasons
In the face of a man

He strums his song like a gem
Losing flames of copper
His touch is tender
As I've never seen it
So I submit, I am fragile
As I hate to be

I’m on some couch
Turning internally and
Fleeing like a gypsy
My function is yet unknown
The critic cannot understand
The love of the artist
