 Epiphany  - Angelique Jamail                                                                         

 

The first time the understanding hit                                      

me that stars do not go away                                                 

in the daytime sky, that

their light is only blinded out

by the sun,

 

.                         the sky dissolved from

blue to yellow to white,

                        the glass sphere of my

world shattered into a million glittering

paths,

 

.                                                      and later,

when all summer’s heat focused into

the smallest, searing punctures

above the dusk-darkened trees,

 

a glowing crescent was already moving

across the sky, hanging in the balance.
