    About this ebook

    Is blue the color of patience? Is this why the sea and the sky turn grey when harmony and patience and the sensuality of emotions are spent?
    Isn't the sea, ever angry, that moved into your eyes?
    Can you only swing on its waves?
    Sweep my fear far away like the carcass of an octopus
    BLUE!
