Not fully dark yet.

a cloudy day, lights still off.

Through thin, half-transparent curtains,
 a cold winter blue fills the room.

Lying on the bed,

I hear the road outside—
cars passing like waves.

The waves reach the end of the road.
I see the ocean.

Waves rise in the distance,

falling closer to me,

spreading forward and downward endlessly
Until the sea and the sky merge into that cold winter blue.

I see myself lying inside a grain of sand.
