Nephthys

The sky was swollen

grey,a thought of fog,

later,in the darkness,

crouched

in the cusp

of his reverie.

Turning

his eyes from the dying

atmosphere, he poured

a pale drink between lampless

bell jar  walls,

knowing that the liquor

would be thin

insulation against long hours

scrapping darkness

and the movement westward.
