that

once when I looked up I saw
a smudge against the blue
bruised clouds

it stayed in the same place
while the sky moved
I watched it for hours
it stayed in the same place
while the sky moved

I thought I would build a city
with that smudge at it's heart

a city built on something stable
that wouldn't slide away every time
I went shopping at least

so I knelt and prayed in gratitude
then I looked up and didn't see.
