Invisible Bruise 1

cobalt jeers, sapphire leers oozing with color how does a poet describe an internal bruise? jay-bird jeers leave a speaker mentally out-of-focus the litmus test of leers, the person who feels scared tears tinged with turquoise kept hidden in public pour from denim hearts, alone in bed at midnight Flowing from fluorescent fears no drug can numb leaving black and boo-hoo marks for months on end
