I forget where I am, I mean in time.
Maybe it is yesterday, maybe tomorrow.
A red glow lingers on the horizon
Like a thin strip of flag flying above the sea.
Later blue invades the sky and fills everything with blue,
And later still blue rises above us
And we are ringed with night,
Heaven iridescent like a concave pearl.
I speak as if you are here,
And I learn it's not my day but yours.
