Yes, in some spots—even here—
The sun sits pitted against the sky.
Yet it’s just a day like any other.
At night, the moon might hover
With a strangely disappointed eye.
Yes, in some spots—even here—
There have been limits to what we’ve seen, of course.
Eyes only stretch as far as distance allows before features
start to flow together, flattening what seems so tangible.
