It is a blue-and-green day.
While I sleep, meteors fall.
My life replays in dreams.The phone is dead, an open line
that registers as busy-busy-busy.
The yellowjacket nest beneaththe porch buzzes-buzzes-buzzes.
Watch your step. It is a blue-
and-green day. Blue sky. Blueclematis. Blue delphinium.
Green everywhere. It is Fair Week.
Fireworks before the meteorshowers. I sleep through it. My life
replays in dreams. It is a blue-
and-green day. Eighty-five dollarsfor telephone repair. Eighty-
five dollars. This is a month
of medicines. Meteors fallwhile I sleep. It is a blue-and-
green day. While I sleep, meteors
fall. My life replays in dreams.

Hold on or let go…which one’s easier? Which one makes the pain subside? Your eyes will rest someday.

Oh this pretty good, the poem(oh course) and I too wrote a poem for Aug 11. Except I’m not done with mine yet. Going work on it next.
