The Sky Needs More Work

            for Rebecca

This is how we do it, limn

the infinite with crude tools.

We prosper in places of low

water, in places of infernal

heat. We work for the fur-

therance of body and soul

and of the impending, which

is served to us with our breast

milk. This is how we show

our appreciation: a little color

here, a trope about harmony.

And, even if the sky needs

more work, today we are up

for it. Today we burn clouds.
