A NIGHT OF BRIEF TALES
by David Eide .

The sky immense? Is there not another sky in another universe? We are made real by what connects us with distant skies of the common universe. Perhaps, one day, we roll into a valley unmarked by the species that destroys. The valley is filled with the sky's pleasure. It is a color running through the solid fabric of its own dream. Machines are heard cleaning the last vestiges of an abandoned city. Happy women tend the flowers that list to the sky's abundance. We are aware of an abyss of dark space that drives the planet and its sky for millions of years. We see then, the creation of the gods. Are they not purposes and desires tossed out on a moonless night? We intuit from the turbulence of the universe that it will be a long time before the adventure begins.
