Sol Invictus
a pale orange orb moving west
clouds stretch across the sky
dark blue fills the space below
eyes fixed on the space between
waiting to see a green flash
i hear the air moving in and out of my lungs
reds and yellows stretch across
left behind
soon blackness overtakes above
no moon tonight
i shut my eyes
when i open them
it’s morning
birds are chirping
navy blue then reds and yellows
tears roll down my cheeks
another chance
