another rail trail walk: blue day lament

where
are you going

I see you
scurrying by

away in the blue
past the green hills

will you come back
this way

should I bide
my time

it can get lonely
with just blue

just the sky

come on back
if you can

don’t be away
too long

the other side
will always be there
but I
may be left
as a shadow

only
under the sun
a shadow
