The Promise of Blue
Kazim Ali
What we wanted was to watch him silver fall
Cut the surface of the water and leave no bruise（擦伤，青肿）
Every earth bound angel who was taught his body was a sin
Calculates in his head equations needed to sculpt the air
As he aims from grim height for the promise of blue
Always smote by lightning, disobedient boys tumble in a tangle down
To drown in the well of others' rage or their own sorrow
Thirst to again return skyward, unbloodied and held close
But to leap is to know the body is the equation the sky has written
And around the body that launches space unfolds its shape of wings
Blue water and blue air are the same substance and within
He turns into currents and tides surging in place
Swims the endless distance down, soars sleek through the cold depth
Now years after he still sings the eerie air as he walks along the shore
He still knows the secret—that at every moment in the body and breath
One can still plummet and plunge and soar
