Unwritten
a certain
solution
can be dropped
into the soil
to turn
a pink hydrangea
blue
depending on the amount
and taking into account
the sun and rain
times two
the blue can be
a porcelain rose
a cloudless sky
a robin’s egg
a denim patch
a crayon scratch
a baby’s bonnet
a dress she wore
a ribbon in her hair
a shoe in a song
a book about
a bowl of blueberries
a bird in a tree
a note he never read
a note she never wrote
