and the sky
through the oval aperture
above your head in the form
of light that bounces
a little then rests on the curved walls
and also in the form
of whatever colors you can see and maybe
if you’re lucky clouds
pours through
maybe it’s obvious
and peacefully alien like a young nun
walking past the local establishments
in a university town in summer
where it’s always despite the superficial changes
the same time
even the rain
feels like rain after the evacuation
and even happiness
feels like having survived something
I can’t remember
I like this Matthew!
