Pigment

Blue: definition of mood; a celestial hue to counterpoint clouds; something green is made from; the effect of light in air.

I lay on the mirrorless tarmac
After a long night,
And the stars gave way to morning.
I framed a hapless question:
‘Why does it do this?
Why have sky at all?
Where do all those cold points go,
Those cold places,
Those remote and nightless suns?
Why am I come so low?’

Frame of Refence

No more reason any more:

Sense in flux like molten rock,

Magma on what was solid ground;

Old certainties swept away

Like a pyroclastic flow from

The core of the earth;
