A Charlie Russell Dawn
Sunrise sky in layers, clouds on hold
a long time, bits of blue like ponds.
Surreal, you say to no one:
that violet on gold, that red under orange,
that apricot, peach, coral, salmon.
Even if something happens today
it won’t mean a thing.
The sky was the story,
and it was brief and had no plot.
