The sea in the sky

In the evening
I lie on a newly paved road
in my country

The sky
is an upside down bowl
with a calm sea hung in it

Heat of the sun
held in the road
warms my back

I'm roasting naked
on a man-made river
heading to the mountains
leading to the cities
all the way home

I hug the road
as I've never before done
As it hugs the earth beneath
beaten down by the sun
which hangs in the sea
in the sky above me

As I wait for it to fall -
the sea that will take me nowhere
because it is home,

I wonder
how did it get there?
