Thanks Arthur and Ryf.; revised Version:
Under Obligation
Reclining against the parapet -
between stars and the sun -
in a twilight haze;
an inn, a parlour, a hospital
where body, mind, and soul recoup (or relax)
I raise my head -
above is light
below darkness.
I jump the threshold,
seek help for the planet -
mortgaged
to a moon, stars, and a sun.
