KA Rees #16 - Distant stars

Distant stars

So long it

is the longest

time longest span

the length of time is long

so long so long ago it was such

a long time between now and then.

I remember it was a Tuesday the sun was shining.

I remember a Friday, the wind rattled the glass inside its frame.

I remember it was a Sunday and the day crept up slowly, as if the light

somehow refused to show.

I remember it was a day, a clear bright day

with no shadows hanging in the sky.

I remember it was night.

Black as pitch with

white stars

shining

a pale

distant

light.

I remember it as the slow burn of midsummer reflected back from the water’s edge

all gone

so long, so long.
