Blue is the color, during daylight, of infinity

Blue is the color, during
daylight, of infinity,
and the night is lit by light

from infinite distance, and
we are born and brought into
being as the twins, joy and

pain,  and we study the words
and the meaning that fills the
words’  sewn bladders, and then we

begin to mold our masks as
soon as our senses are all
sorted out, and our dreams cause

us to drift from the space we
sometimes know as ourselves to
discover what it is to

remove our masks, and we train
and educate that part of
us that thinks therefore—so we 

miss our trains because they were
ahead of schedule and the
trains arrived there long before

we even planned our weekend
trip to San Sebastián
for to enjoy the warm and

softening sun and the sea
that sings in Basque—I am, or
seem to be, always planning

strategies to get through the
next moment without damage
to that part of me that will

remain damaged for eons
as karma casts my damage
to vanish among the winds.
