i exist
in that time
where
the sun
has nearly set
but
the street lights
have yet
to come to life
the world
is painted
in dark blue
shadows
everything
feels slightly
out of focus
fuzzy
around the edges

that’s where i
belong
in that space
between
day and night
where nothing
is as it seems
where the monsters
are just
shadows
where truth
is as mysterious
as fiction

somewhere
in the liquid
purple
where sunlight
has already
turned to myth
as the kingdom
of night
secures
its borders
i exist
in the hazy
recollection
of kisses
beneath
the azure sky
