The seascape shifts
Between the minutest interstices of time
Blue is blue.
A pine-branch
Tugs at the eye: the eye
Returns to grey-blue, blue-black or indigo
Or it returns, simply,
To blue-after-the-pine-branch.
Here, there is no question of aberrations
Into pinks, golds or mauves:
This is the variation Pater indicated
But failed to prove.
Art exists at a remove
Evocation, at two,
Discusses a blue that someone
Heard someone talking about.
—Charles Tomlinson.
