poem #11 the last thing I saw was this sky

the last thing I saw was this sky

I looked up into the clouds with my lonely eyes

and there were lonely eyes all over the world

and we all said, why?

and millions and millions of why’s floated up

they were almost like butterflies, they were almost like swallows

we kept looking for something that was the bigger face

but there was nothing there but blue

there was nothing but white lace, clouds interlaced

there was only an atmosphere

and where were you?

the last thing I saw was this sky

on that day I looked up for you and I

on that day I needed to see a face

on the day I believed in the kindness of the human race
