Blue

The sky is blue

All that glitters

Fades 

The gate closes 

Alice pauses 

For a minute 

We remember everything

The dogs bark

Mother cones 

Again 

We will lie in the red bed

It's blue 

Silly

She cries 

I don't want words any more 

They make me blue 

My feet are swollen 

Best raise them on 

A pillow

She bites her nails 

I sigh 

Take a deep breath

And dream.
