A Talk with the Sky

I spoke to the sky today

a steel plate pressing me

I have not heard from her

something about the absence of sun

weighs too much

so I spoke to the sky today

I know all the reasons

the patterns and formations

and permutations

chaos theory

the science of highs and lows

explain to me

attraction to the sun

the way a leaf turns to it

by what will

she decides when she appears

I hugged my coat

by its pockets

I spoke to the sky today

and I told it to depart
