How Beautiful

A personal lens: glass bending rays
That gave one that day’ s news
Saying each and every day,

Just remember you are standing
On a planet that’ s evolving.
How beautiful, she thought, what distance does

For water, the view from above or afar.
In last night’ s dream, they were back again
At the beginning. She was a child

And he was a child.
A plane lit down and left her there.
Cold whitening the white sky whiter.

Then a scalpel cut her open for all the world
To be a sea.
