Blue Sky Day

Today is a blue sky day.

My heart is always lighter when the gray veil is peeled back,

revealing an inky expanse inhabited by a cheery orb

whose dimming signals the end of night

Ink fades to ice-eye-blue as Earth turns imperceptibly beneath me

And seagulls call, far from shore

The city awakens with me inside

But some corner of my heart

            wiggles its toes in the warm sand

As waves beat time on the coast of eternity
