Pale Pink Sky

    The sea so deep and blind
    Where still the sun must set
    And time itself unwind
    O love, aren’t you tired yet?

    The Faith — Leonard Cohen

 

Pale Pink Sky


If I could be
Something
It would be the
Pale pink sky of afternoon

I would be
The cool wind
Of early evening
And the quiet of dusk’s edge

If I could be
Something
I would be the purpled-blue
Before sunrise

I would be
The rumble of thunder
After lightning and the
Grey behind the trees

If I could be something
I would be you, or him
I would be her
I would be anything

Anything but me
