Cast a red eye

As I watched

From my corner

Across the sky

A glow, a flicker

A game of hide-&-seek

In my mind’s eye.

Chasing clouds,

Chasing rain,

The same refrain

Comes to mind…

This is alas,

The last outpost

From the past

Perhaps.

As I retire

From the solitary

Confinement

Of one mind’s I.
