spokes/blue/earth
there's a blue rim that flies
with splatter of happiness washed
and as it tinges the blood impure
drip, drip the melted wax
all pins in the voodoo, lost in fire,
and just shapeless heads now stand
forth in farms and homes, they wave
in gestures swung with key and delight,
the poppies sing, the valley blooms
and once again the sea recedes
to the bluest pure, to the point full
one in the world to be sought or not
just terrain, terra.
