Elucidating Questions

This time Pleiades

Burned into my retinas

Just before he disappeared behind the hill

I stared him down into his core and watched as the water of the clouds turned him blue for a moment

Purple for another

Mischievous shading of the clouds in the past moments of light

I’m not blind yet

But if I do

I’ll just know the last thing I saw was the centre of my life and I loved it

So maybe it wouldn’t be so bad

To see you in a moment

To look you in the face

Means more to me than any embrace

Goodnight sweet light

I love your green

I can imagine it
