Cobalt

If you'd fall thru a cobalt-blue sunset

It would be a slow-motion descent

First arcing out over day's last edge

Past cascading lights mirged to wedge

You deftly to a darkened side of world

Until upside down now you're hurled 

Across ocean tops a flight of spirit

Charged currents of ions you merit 

We've seen all the previews, it's a way

Out of this mad maze malaise in play

All souls unaffected are left behind

There's no saving this old humankind

If you'd fall thru to the next dimension

Cobalt-blue sunsets compel attention

An epoch of cold distance star to star

Helps not at all to know where we are

Slowest-motion descent, far to near

Days to decades, then all disappear.
