every day   I leave my conscience
there   in order to be   here

night and day   I leave what I know is
wrong   outside   over there
above or below   the horizon

each morning and afternoon   I notice

flecks   cuts   and unexplained   light-glare

try to accept that   sea   and sky
can be   indistinguishable    even lush
for the eyes

but   the remembering   implores
        clarity
