Over and under, tightly stitch
never missing a knick. Washed,
dried, and well ironed, showing
it's well depressing blue
as they weave more pieces of
cloth's upon me.
I was clothes into
sayings, lies, screams, and cries.
Attached with dilluted gems, and
thorn pricked socks.
It wasn't resistant to dark spots,
and salt tears.
It became drenched in tie-dye abyss,
until I was clothed in it,
wearing it
every day,
until it became my skin.
I wish to wear lemon grass,
soft like the clouds,
and glazed in starlight.
For I'm not comfortable
wearing blue.

Nice piece, Ken. May your future hold much lemon grass, and little blue but the sky and an eternal sea. Thank you.

I am so in agreement here, I much prefer your ending, you wear it well.
You conveyed the discomforting blues in a unique way.
Your poem is quite good and I enjoyed reading it.

there is something so soothing about this piece, you make lemon grass seem the most beautiful and soft sensation. This poem is WELL knit!
