BLUE SKY

The stem cells coaxed to become 
a kidney or a trachea failed to 
ask the Himalayas, why were not, 
they gathering the ice for glaciers! 
Some sexual jealousy? 

The naked darkness will nurse 
the roses to rest on the barrel 
of a gun. Civil war will start any day. 

Colored man, the tattoos will not 
tell the truth of the body. Blood 
was always crying to give up 
the fight. Why half-brothers were 
destroying each other? 

No squirrel will climb on the trees. 
Nuts have gone. The winds have dispersed 
sine die. A prayer is rising from the lips of earth.
