Inverted Skies

Bookmark
Summary:
Dedicated to a friend who died in a car accident

I woke to where you fell asleep  
on asphalt crumbled unfulfilled.  
I walked the confines of that street,  
my hands familiar with the wheel,  
my ears familiar with the roar  
of engine grinding piston speak,  
the sounds before the metals meet  
and fold themselves like sheets of tin  
around the place your heart had been.  

Around the place your heart had been  
a glassy spray of diamonds strung  
in disarray, like stars, descend.  
They fall among the embers flung  
to smolder in the wind.  

Is this the thing that God intends?  

The big machine has closed his eyes.  
Your sparkle flees inverted skies  
to sprinkle light through Heaven’s door.  
The moon has fallen on the shore.
