Martian Sky


I feel like I’m looking

Into

A

Martian Sky

This morning

A splotched pink skyline

That looks like it was

Painted by giants

With sponges in hand

Glowing behind these

Pink patterns pressed

Into the puffy white clouds

Are

Swirling

Red and yellow lines

As far as I can see!

It seems to me

I’ve written a lot

About the sky

Over the years

Or

Maybe

It’s just my inner thoughts

These past few days

Wondering

If anyone

Ever looks up

From their phones

To see past

Their screens

At the world around them?

Above them?

The things that

Are

Alive

And

Happening

Like the Martian Sky

Above me now

Before it slowly burns away


From my book, When The Cedars Shade Your Grave
