Afternoon
December 29, 2019
The day is cut from gemstones
That were harvested
Deep in a mantle
We will never reach.
Clouds trail their
Pearl white flesh along rivers
Of cerulean gas,
A dance with atmospheres.
The sun spills beams
Along its even track.
Never faltering, yet
Destined to be extinguished.
I would love to stay here.
Marveling at sunlight.
Basking in the glory
Between horizons.
But I am tired,
Perhaps I’ll take a nap.
