Blue and Lavender Might

    Blue and Lavender Might

 

If rain were lavender or blue, our ways

Might take us back or forward in our space/

Time.  I might learn to dance sand merengues

MERENGUE DANCE BASI Y DEISY

Along a Caribbean blue-fringed grace

Of waves.  If lavender, the rain might make

It possible to travel back in time

To ancient Tyre and we might overtake

Great Alexander in his purple crime

Against that city’s people, purple since

His royalty excused the slaughter.  Waves

Around the killing drank their blood.  To rinse

His greed he poured some wine on soldiers’ graves.

  If blue and also lavender combined

    In rain, our dreaming hearts might be refined.
