The sky was so blue-
It was so blue it could have been from the past
It was so blue it could have been the wings of a bird
It was so blue it could have been Jack's eyes
It was so blue it could have been a lake
It was so blue it could have been a hot, hot flame
It was so blue it could have been an enamel camp plate
It was so blue it could have been a wildflower, columbine or lupine
It was so blue he could have drowned looking up
On his own tears.
