Sky Glow

Tide out
Cloud low
Sun departed
Skies glow

Safe harbour moorage
Saturated primaries
Gloomy tone offset

In the off season
Lobster traps wait in repose
Fishers count the days

Aground not grounded
Becoming one with the Earth
Ashes to Ashes

Old asphalt beckons
Straight run to the mocking sun
Catch me if you can

Dotting the landscape
Checkers on a checkerboard
Harvest time: King Me!

Every sunset
Leads to night

Every night
Leads to sunrise

Ever the flow
Of darkness and light

Equal parts land and sky

A gravel grid takes me there
And then afar
The dust kicked up
Wind whisks away

An expanse left sparse
For what good seed may raise
The prairie, where sight lines end
Only at the infinite

Through the gloom
You reach out
To offer light
And energy

Orb in a red sky
Landscape a glowing ember
Spirit set aflame
