Substance of Blue

glacier freeze
Scandanavian eyes
royal jay on a winter branch
turquoise on cobalt
in silver
ice
midnight velvet
night sky
delft and willow
Scots rugby
iris
Appalachian twilight grass
frosty-skinned berry in a cream jacket
ridge
morning sky
coke-bottle wake from a Smith Lake boat
Bahamian archipelago
