Love this one! The ending, in particular, leaves me with much to reflect on. It pushes me outside my usual frame of reference, but doesn't provide a new, prescribed perspective. I'm left in a beautiful state of open wonder. That's how I like my poetry. ☺️ Thank you! 🙏

"a low sky’s

loop of

variable white"

Such a perfect description of the sky as seen from someone on a coast. Memories of Lake Michigan came into my head immediately. Great poem.
