✨ Cerulean:

thin calligraphy ...

Cerulean:

I swallow sky / blue vault strewn with bird /
so far the horizon / thin calligraphy of mountains /
between here and there / I am song / or soaring /
a boundless surge of script / these crane bodies
flying / his voice’s tenor / rustling flight / I am
riding the poem’s thermals / a snow field melts /
intimate mist holds close / blooming orchid’s
fragile grace
