is the same as all those other afternoons when

the light was receding like

our hairlines, when it shone through

our winter skin and we

awoke from a long nap and

it was light all the time we were sleeping?

“doesn’t this light remind you of all those other times

you looked up from your reading

and were expecting to see

change and nothing

did change except the way

you looked, the way you met the light,

greeted it at the door as a friend

or smiled at it from a distance as your lover?

“can’t you see that the sky is

horsefly blue?

I swear I’ve seen this light before;

before I was born,

I knew the colour of this sky.

When I was five

the yard I played in

had a sky this colour,” I say

“what colour?” he says.
