Mostly Blue


her colors are mostly blue 
devoted, I fine-sort these hues

she is a black child, with eyes so blue I gasp
she will echo every admiring word
then she will laugh and hug my neck

this is the best feeling I've had
in so long
both of us laughing

in later dreams
she is with missionaries
and not where she belongs

this is a deep game
to know this girl belongs with me
if I can bring her home
