Blue.
Dark, solid, heavy, warm, solid
He surrounded me, engulfed me in nothing
black and blue and white and him
They were almost like the waters at Cape Cod
Except he was not the lovely waters on top
oh no,
he was the water at the ocean floor,
black and blue and bleeding into everything he touched
harvesting the life no one waned to see and hiding it
underneath layers of coral,
white coral, white irises
except even that was not a good analogy
It was more like a sky
blue and clouded,
except not at day
oh no,
during the night
when the monsters come out from underneath his eyelashes
dark and full and solid
They held tiny rays of dark blue in a different shade,
shooting throughout and catching the little light
that rolled off of his pupil
Sparkled wasn't quite the word
It was more like a thousand supernovas,
light imploding upon itself to burn
the amount of energy it took to keep his body pliant and open to mine
And behind them there were planets,
extraterrestrial life breathing in nitrogen and stardust
Blue, blue
They were deep, deep, and full, full,
of life and death and stardust and coral and solid, heavy, warm, solid
