Going outside, I breathe in the cold night air.
Darkness and silence enter my eyes and my ears.
Far into the night, time advances.
My today is yesterday and tomorrow is today...
A point of light passes, wavering in the dark sky.
How far am I from my world?
Will I ever return there?
I circle around, opening my arms.
Here I am, in equilibrium on the edge of life.
It's midnight, and the middle of my time.
I look back, then ahead.
What was yesterday? What will tomorrow be?
