Small Blue Thing


Today i am
a small blue thing
like a marble
or an eye

with my knees against my mouth
i am perfectly round
i am watching you

i am cold against your skin
you are perfectly reflected
i am lost inside your pocket
i am lost against
your fingers

i am falling down the stairs
i am skipping on the sidewalk
i am thrown against the sky

i am raining down in pieces
i am scattering like light
scattering like light
scattering like light

today i am
a small blue thing
made of china
made of glass

i am cool and smooth and curious
i never blink
i am turning in your hand
turning in your hand
small blue thing
