fresh from the news of death

orig_long red

-the day turned blue-

from the hospital screams the
blue news.
through telephones, through the air
from blue person, to blue person.
the time is blue.
the clock is blue.
this room, blue.
the old man, now alone
will live his remaining blue years
in the cold of an empty blue house.
dinner gone. movies gone.
her, gone.
the impossible has happened.
the blue
has swallowed
the living
whole.
