Lucid Blue
Something stunning and prismatic swells in the lungs,
Works it’s way into the bloodstream,
Quick ride to the brain, in mother of pearl veins;
Fireflies dot the room intangibly,
Never quite pinned down like so many butterflies.
Something about this feels like pin-pricked fingers
Grasping a glass of ice water,
Under lucid thermonuclear blue skies.

“lucid thermonuclear blue skies” is a fluid, intriguing image. I’m also a fan of the fireflies “never quite pinned down like so many butterflies.”
just now lighting in the bright dimming blue sky. the perfect atmosphere for reading this..
