blue and gold

the sky is cobalt blue
the sun slants gold
across the trees

I remember in the city
a navy sky
tall flats before it
faced with gold
sun-struck

a moment when the city
was beauty

place of contrasts, of
impossible dimension
so high we cannot touch
so low we do not
want to know the dark

we all inhabit
somewhere in between
lower than the angels
higher than the spark

One Year Round The Sun
