The insights in my notebook
have become riddles, I remember
having had today's hazy thought

once before
but clearer, a revelation
that I immediately wrote down

and to catch it again
I've been walking for hours
sniffing for a trail

I walk along the niches-hut
of The Northern Lights through time
the sky turns orange again, the sea green

I keep flies out, I filter
the thoughts of the world
and stand still from time to time

to make sure
I am awake, ready -
my hand on pen and paper
4½ to 2½ million years ago, the sky was orange (due to a lot of carbon dioxide, with methane, nitrogen and sulfur dioxide) and the sea was green (due to a lot of iron)
