a shade of blue

she was most happy
when she was unhappy.
the ex wife.
ancient history now
and
hard to explain, but true.
nothing
pleased her more
than a gift
she didn't want,
a ring, a blouse,
a sweater, or jewel.
the wrong color, or fit,
or style
made her swell with
joy.
what was there to do
but keep
trying. maybe green,
maybe gold,
maybe a different
shade of blue.
