Poetry from Julie Jordan Scott: #OctPoWriMo Day 24: Fellini Told Me So It Must Be True

I borrowed the words to inspire my poem from Terry Tempest Williams Book, When Women Were Birds. The words she loaned me were Beyond, Walking & Blue.

Fellini Told Me So It Must Be True

Blue on Blue on Blue

Sky ocean eyes

beginning irrelevant

ending unnoticed

passion served on the page-plate.

Music pushes the pencil

beyond vibe of the electric guitar.

Waves play the sound

of unraised light switches

last year’s Christmas lights

yearning to be lit,

wrapped in a neat

not quite circle

across baggies filled

with silvery Santa Clauses.

She walks to the attic

to push the Easter boxes away.

Chattering jogger won’t stop -

unable to hear the gentle mama bird

won’t quietly blush at the sea lion’s

romantic interlude wooing the

Plein air writer. She understands

what it means to take a morning

walk beyond the boundaries

Grey on grey on grey

Path Fog Walrus
