Blue
Blue, I think in cobalt.
Cerulean smiles. Prussian, well, takes charge.
But cobalt colors waves’ sink, glass pretending darkness
will save it from break, the near-night sky,
I do not know
how the footfalls of approaching night
are found in rock salt, sindered.
Only that, when sky fixes
in the buried, oceans are
unearthed.
**************************************************
Cobalt is a wonderful deep blue made of salts of alumina, sindered, meaning heated very hot. It is used in making pigments, but also for a deep blue glass, and the blues in Chinese porcelain. Cerulean and Prussian are other blues–55 packed into one for the G-man--also for Sam Peralta of dVerse Poets Pub.
