Torch

 

The morning east sky now looks 

blanched and pale blue

waiting for the orange yolk


Fifteen minutes ago

it was pinkish yellow

like yellow in the traffic lights

signalling us to be ready


Half an hour ago

it was a splendid pink 

announcing the arrival 

of the mighty sun


It all looked like someone

pressed their palm against

a torch's white light

and then revealed it.
