Florida Blue

(C) 2016 by Howard Dart Humeston

 

Winter in Florida has the bluish blue skies

stretching from east to west and north to south.

Not a wisp of clouds, pure, unadulterated blueness.

I tilt my head skywards to absorb the beauty

and the cobwebs, broken sticks and twigs from my head

float skyward, higher and higher into blue.

All that remains is the blueness.

The blueness.
