Brown And Blue, Revised.... Poem by RIC BASTASA

it is not between blue
or brown

it is of this earth
within the
coolness of blue

it is when the brown
shades of this
skin
are spread

when the blue shades of your eyes rest
upon the floor
of my belly

that my navel beats
like a tadpole in that pond

as brown and scarlet
take once more the interlinking of my earthly arms
to the blueness of your skies

it is when color
seek each other's hold
it is when when they mix
and blend

that tones and scents become
as perfect as both
