The Swan by Camille Saint-Saens

algonquin

the deep jade color
of

your eyes
(i held a baby

and she
didn't cry)

the neon orange sky
like

piles

of traffic cones

(i held your head up
with

a sigh)

and

the faded blue denim rain
(it falls

steady

when
you say goodbye) and

the

lonely pink heart
i keep

just for me, the unbroken prism
deep

inside...
