Colors In the Sky
"Two doves in white flying, feathers glow beneath the morning's rainbow colors"
--Charles Messina
Wet black diamond saw slicing rocks
Powdered stone slush drizzling, milky veins
Spidering over smooth white travertine
A pair of lovers skillfully formed
Flying parallel through a green granite sky
Over gray garden rocky mountains
Under an alabaster sun
Stretching its rays
Over all creation
Colors in the sky
That dove and I flew through
Ten thousand nine hundred and fifty
Hot red nights
Cold blue days
Purple sorrows
Green tomorrows
And yellow joys
All swirled into a dizzying array of
Ten thousand nine hundred and fifty
Scintillating
Masterpieces
Painted over the desert hills
Viewed from our porch every evening
Until the coyotes went howling
And the colors of the sky went
Stolen by the night
She's gone
But still I
See us flying
Every day
