Untitled (On Blue, II)

She is like butter,
like softness, its ideal,
beneath my fingers,
beneath my brush,
over and over and
over and over,
she comes down from a place I cannot see,
I could never possibly see,
until she is all-consuming,
a singular canvas,
a singular frame,
of blue,
and I understand you,
understand everything,
more
now.
