Notes from an Evening Walk with Wife

Notes from an evening walk with my wife on my birthday’s eve, 2021:

Archipelago of clouds

infused with hues of lavender

and pink, something feeling

more refined and elevated

than mere references to cotton

candy in the evening sky, a chain

of islands ephemeral

and conjuring the Pacific, serene

and unfolding as time itself,

if time were real and material,

a passage of impermanence

before our eyes
