Periwinkle


Cover image of my livre d'artiste Periwinkle
The first time she could
distinguish between phthalo
blue and periwinkle 
she was five.

Inside a small dark studio
apartment, with its tattered
smoked stained curtains drawn,

bodies sprinkle on the dull
linoleum like pepper
on stale bread.
