Aurora
Aurora
Stealing a cigarette from dad’s pack
A fifteen year old boy hid in grasses along a faraway shore
To do the forbidden.
Glad that he did.
Sitting, smoking, the skies began to glow
Muted gossamer curtains.
Intrigued, watching
Faint webs festoon themselves with color.
Green, pink, blue, yellow…the sapphire sky waltzed.
The first time seeing
The aurora was a life changing moment
Embedded in my memories.
