Blue makes painting exciting
when I see it
a waterfall of intrigue floods my being
I am captivated and spellbound
everything else has meaning too,
but,
only as to its proximity to blue
It is very unfair
but I don’t care

Blue turns me into a cat
the way a cat will endlessly play with
the same toy,
throw it into the air, and
carry it around the house in its teeth
I can’t stay away from Blue — just like that.

I wonder if blue has some mystical powers
that makes its devotees do crazy things
Picasso and Yves Klein both know what I mean

Whatever
it is
that Blue is
It just is
the color I love
That is my turtle dove
