An evening melody


some days are gray
some days are red yellow and blue
how the pieces fit
depend on you

waves of color shift
in distant memories
secrete hormones
make meanings

you feel the sun
you feel the moon
you call it a lie
you call that the truth


you are alone
walking in an unknown city
you sing a song from another time
i try to listen carefully
but i remember only the melody


i close my eyes and walk blind
hoping to collide
the evenings fall
the suns rise
the ocean hits the shores
and days go by
