I know the sky
is not really blue
the sun and moon
neither rise or fall
and stars certainly don’t wink
so to make life
less scientific
less circular
and repetitive
less appearing alive
but already dead
we have poetry to launch
from this hot dusty earth
it is great fireworks
a show anyone can enjoy
keep watching
and you’ll find a favorite
one that burns brighter
than all the rest
one you'll follow closely
across the sky
