I Want A Blue Man __________________ I want a blue man Unafraid to write my name Or handle my body Or sense my spirit Whose shoulders are broad enough That he can share his power with a confident ease Whose arms gather inward Instinctively gentle with sorrow Whose hands have eyes of their own I want a man who recognizes me Whose insights can pierce my self-deception Hearing the words I cannot speak Going places I have taken noone else I want such a deep blue man Blue feast for mind and senses Not this hungriness I have For arms that seem to hold me away And the hesitation to see my name Written with yours -acm (March, 1995) **first 2 lines taken from Jan McLaughlin**
