A sonnet about a giraffe
I think you need to paint a bit of blue between the legs. For there is blue beyond the legs, and blue beyond the body, and there’s blue beyond the head, and there is blue beyond the blue eyes, softly gazing out. Only, there is no out. No on beyond the eyes, or eye-lashes, no on beyond the head, the neck, the back, the legs, the spots. You cannot take away the head, the neck, you cannot take away the legs, the spots, you cannot take away an eyelash, not a single one, and not the single back, and not the bit of blue between the legs because there is no bit of blue between the legs.
