VOLUME 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS

PHOTO BLUE

Blue filters darken the orange of afternoons while

algae, grazing between clouds, aerobic evolution,

amuck in blue-green habitats, organizes nitrogen.

On the wing , a feathery structure of mirror blue,

a raven of blue, oils the churning machinery

on a paradise island, not as blue as advertised.
 

U.S. blue, a new constellation of star patterns out

of the blue, TV triggered electrons, window blue.

Sky light, blue-sensitive, silver compounds show

the inner face of the glass, primary, driven by blue.
 

Beryllium plates, squeezing bones into sapphires.

A blue palette of distinctions, mad lyrical spirits,

a Russian Blue, lost, wandering Baltic ports, silky

with wide-set vivid eyes, blue-faced at window panes.
 

Prussian blue from Prussia, disappeared along with

laundry bluing, gunflint blue, algae aged a billion years,

Jurassic fish, trapped in shale, tears and lapis lazuli.
 

Blue Ridge, slope-shouldered with blue-eyed grasses.

Blue-throats lurk in the underbrush; calls deepen the blue.

Laws on blue paper, at muzzle point, mandatory church.

Behold, blue lotus, rising from runes and relic metaphors.
 

In the panoramic view are intimate photo blue spaces,

wind-struck and gazing out, a sea-blue, free as breath.
