Acela 2153

Darkest sapphire
sky this morning

clouds illuminated black
By the setting moon
By the rising sun

Factory lights blinking distantly
Precusors to the hours ahead
When dreams will wisp away
like
summer's ephemeral clouds

Temporary Hues

Crayola launched a new product line with colors like
lush lavender
breathtaking blues
crimson red blended with orange
pure ocean white foam

An intermission before
we recede into our heart's safety of
black and white
