Parrish blue

You ordered it up, you said, just for me,


so I could see what a real Parrish sky
looked like. From the backseat of your bike,
cruising on the viaduct in the cold,
through the open visor, I saw bright sky
deepen to cobalt, blending to navy,
then to midnight, dotted with winking stars.
The cold air blushed my cheeks as I wondered
how I’d never noticed the sky like this
before.
