fast forward fourteen light seconds

the space between before
and after, is an epoch
filled with kinetic memories
that mirror hydrogen and helium.
these cobalt skies embrace his name,
keeping the nearby clouds happy
and warm. rain is no longer
in this forecasters vocabulary.
no rainbow required for sight,
solar flares falling from skies
have their way of uncovering brilliant
smiles.
