Bartimaeus Daily

11.17.21

The sunrise is a different kind of beauty from
the riotous sky the sunsets yield as the sun
tantrums its way to bed.

The sunrise, viewed properly, raises the senses.
You wake up to dark and can hardly see at all.
Then there is just enough so that you see
the color blind landscape that is
your home through blue light.

Of course, you must turn on no bulb, light
no fire, and keep your phone far far away.

It’s the blue light.

Because then, when the sun wakes
and shines its charm on the clouds,
you see the first red of the day.

The sunrise’s beauty is that of a cure’s.

You are no longer blind.

We are Bartimaeus daily.
