Blue in Green
By Erren Geraud Kelly

Blue in green is summer in New England
When fall leaves don’t show their face
Your walk along the beach at Martha’s Vineyard
Is a piano talking
You touch my hand the way a pianist
Tickles the keys
And a fire begins
Your hair blows like blues in the
Wind
I decipher your talk like a piano’s
Code
Even from a world away
I can hear you talking like a
Piano across the
Water
Blue into Green into Blues
Like a shaman, revealing
Dreams
