blue poetry

Estes
reino del dolor
• Lorca
This is the kingdom of
sorrow
In a sea of erotic
despair:
The graceful sorrow
That inspires poems
Is so blue.
And the blues keep
teasing me
Joyful shadows
Haunting me
Hanging around
Like an old cloak
Dragged around
On a hot day
Why are you so blue,
When the sky
Is a perfect blue?
I asked the muse
On the street corner
But he was silent
While his saxophone
moaned
