I carve a piece of blue sky
for the dark days ahead
prepare myself to touch
where it hurts, let tears
rinse the pain……..then
I will take the blue patch
to cover the wound
with sunshine and fresh air
let myself heal again.

they said to remember crawdads
asked me to listen for their song
when my heart was heavy
and my sorrow dark
