Another Fresh Start

Blue Common Chicory
You
Uncommon companion

Yes
You Blue Bunk
At the berm of retreat

Thirteen states
To date

Cornflower
You blue cousin

Illuminating roadways and byways
Each new way, next stay
Before
Being on my way

Sixty-eight homes
To date

Perennial blue blur
Driving and arriving
Striving and surviving
Will thriving ever occur?

Early-on
Pressed-nose to side window pane
Later-on
Bent-brow and steering wheel strain

All ways stretching
Blue Ragged Sailors at the horizon
Tears falling in heart

Another fresh start
