Sharon Morris
The purpose of blue
But it鈥檚 the colours I miss, don鈥檛 you see?
the lapis sky and fair cerulean blue
of ocean, the precise shivering hue
of your laugh on a bright day, so clear.
Whatever the light, lavender appears
to shave blue from grey, the way I knew you.
I鈥檓 dead-heading the daisy - though it鈥檚 futile -
sweeping leaves and weeding 鈥榲olunteers鈥�.
My eyes close - the way聽 whales slip from view
between the waves -聽 I have to let you go.
I still wear that specific shade of turquoise -
you looking out at the Pacific Ocean -
the way blue sky screens emptiness, its purpose
forgetting or holding on.聽 Is this beauty?
Sharon Morris is Deputy Director (Research) and Head of the PhD programme at the Slade.
