Have you ever seen the same sky twice?

Waiting so long for the weight to lift

a force

reversed on this axis

gravity

to be what causes me to stand

now fly,

escape to shake this

dried skin

this light sifted

through sky,

leafless trees turning shadows.

Wished for the other side of hell

until the earth broke open

found to be round,

endless

in all the changing

found faultless,

same as today’s sky

this day’s sky

and the next.

All we have are

shades of blue,

infinite stars

and infinite reasons.
