I sent this card out of devilment
blank other than a short greeting
and the name by which you knew me
scrawled in imperial blue ink
the missive fairly fathomable
a parting summary for periwinkle eyes that tease
deciphering code, pulling out the symbolic
after all blue is the missing colour
no longer deep down indigo miasma
of separation - more the misty insubstantia
of separate tables*
but do not read too deeply into this
I will never again cut my wrists for you
