chagall backdrop

Today’s light
is eternal morning.

It’s light that shines
for just today

despite
so many miles
still heated,

it feels warm
– even hot –
on the skin.

That alone
leaves me
breathless,

perplexed
and stymied.

We are
here,

there’s
no denying that,

but explaining it . . .
mustn’t we try?
