SKY BLUE


nepal has the bluest of blue skies . a blue you see . a blue you can feel    
claire looks me in the eyes and says “ have you ever tried opium ? “
“ no . no I have not ” I reply . softly squeezing my hand claire whispers
ooh la la . alors ! you do not know . you have not lived . until you know sky blue  

claire is the embodiment of the french femme fatale
bridget bardot . catherine deneuve . marie dorbeau 

as we lay on the green grass watching fluffy white clouds float across the blue sky
claire purrs “ we will go to the chinese shop tonight and you will know sky blue “
when night falls we go to the den . and with claires gentle encouragement 
i close my eyes . walk to the edge . and leap . into the void

now it is just me . just claire . and just the bluest of blue skies
