Millenium
It is just past midnight,
and the sun rose in the north.
No, perhaps the sun is in the South?
The bedroom is bathed in a light like new fallen snow,
then it is the kitchen that is filled with light
whiter than 5,000 degrees Kelvin.
Through the rice paper window shades
brief shadow projections appear.
The tops of trees and leaves flash in one window
and then the next.
The sharp light creates brief images of tree branches
becoming menacing arms.
Plato's theory is acted out in the dark of night
showing a potentially violent world just outside of one's home.
