It's Still Life

That In-between Time

It’s early morning,
half-light dark,
those minutes before dawn rises,
when the sky hangs low
and shortsighted.
Blue heron colour.
Starless. Washed
entirely empty by a shock
of overnight rain –
perfection, how rain cleans air.
Clears drought from your last
still pervasive thought.
