earth fact time. some sea otters have purple bones! some sea otters like to eat purple sea urchins so much and they eat so many that it stains their teeth and bones purple! usually it's just a few teeth, but sometimes it's their entire skeleton. this is called echinochrome staining, and sometimes eating too many carrots can cause a similar effect in humans.

Citrus blues.
-------------
I climb mountains.
A resting place near a fountain
Under the willow tree.
Where you hear the shallow sea
Which scrubs the stony shore
Where sea urchins find home.
I have poppies around me
I snap their stalks and drink the milk.
The cobweb which is like the silk that stones me
Sometimes i have to.
Sometimes i don't.
But it's always there.
My flask with the teardrops for tomorrow. Sometimes worry, sometimes sorrow.
So may i borrow your time.
And put some lime in my eyes.
Until another day dies.
So I'm not saying goodbyes.
Im saying hello to your beautiful eyes.
And im asking for citrus blues.
Because i already have salt and tequila.
Hunches and cues with clues.
Left with tobacco crumbs and Shangri-La cruise.
-------
