Calcimine Blue from Oh, Siloam by Matthew Killough

What an empty house is home since the spirit has flown
Since she flung it like a stone since she freed it from its cage
How tranquil and benign are these walls I used to climb
The pale blue walls I live behind crack and peel all the same

She left me lean and hungry
Pale faced and aimless with nothing left to lose
Lean and hungry living in a cold shade of calcimine blue

Strange are the days since the pain went away
A blue halcyon haze makes it needless to resist
Where am I to go with no worry and woe
With no misery to show and no soul to feel it with

She left me lean and hungry
Pale faced and aimless with nothing left to lose
Lean and hungry living in a cold shade of calcimine blue
