That Way

The sky looked different,
electric even,
and it hadn't been that way since I was ten,

since the blood was running out of my nose and all over my clothes,
since it was pitch black in that little room,
since purple was a calming,
but deceptive little color,

since then,

and it hadn't looked that scary since the dock,
a few years later,
when the illumination was there,
but so far away,
that I wondered what life lived there,
in the deep,
above and below the night sky,

skies,

it was heat lightning,

the kind I knew I'd die before ever seeing up close,
up very,

very close
