A Poem a Day (256): Deep blue dart

 
Deep blue dart
 
Light and dark, and the skies
burst with something of
the other, sedentary and bright
in pausing. A pelage
of created words. A hollow.
 
A swallow seeks out its nest,
flight straight and true
like a deep blue dart.
We take heart that it will stop,
this vacancy inside.
 
I hear the dripping rain fall
somewhere. Not here today,
but out there. Some place
apart in this distancing.
And it might turn.
