small blue thing

today i am

a small blue thing

like a marble

or an eye

with my knees against my mouth

i am perfectly round

i am watching you

i am cold against your skin

you are perfectly reflected

i am lost inside your pocket

i am lost against

your fingers

i am falling down the stairs

i am skipping on the sidewalk

i am thrown against the sky

i am raining down in pieces

i am scattering like light

scattering like light

scattering like light

today i am

a small blue thing

made of china

made of glass

i am cool and smooth and curious

i never blink

i am turning in your hand

turning in your hand

small blue thing
