Blue
Blue passion flower, anvil
for butterflies delivered
by a soft yellow-dressed afternoon.
I think of the amethyst cross
between her breasts,
coffee in small rococo cups
and wood smoke that braids
her hair a fragrance of olive.
Her hands speak
like keepers of my old dreams.
Let the bad winds blow, they say,
they will never open scars.

"...and wood smoke that braids

It is like an explanation of a Kahlo painting.
