riotous riley

indigo
smeared between the palms
of gentle bones
and ink-black butterfly wings
between waves
and red boats
and every other thing that floats

indigo
smearing the snow
where they found yeti
in tibet
and they’re not free
yet

it takes skill to see
just one drop in the changelessly
changeable sea

and murder mercifully

and smile at me

it's cute that we just did a round-robin of inspiration.
