Blue Quote by Marjorie M. Evasco
““This is how I desire God on this island With you today: basic and blue As the sea that softens our feet with salt And brings the living wave to our mouths Playing with sounds of a primary language. “God is blue,” sang the poet Juan Ramon Ramirez, Drunk with desiring, his hair, eyebrows, Eyelashes turned blue as the kingfisher’s wings.””
