from every direction

the sky flooded in

from every direction 

and i said

"hey

this is saying something

this is telling me

something

and 

it's not clear

but it's

something about

how life

just flows in

and disappears

and where does it all go?

i mean there's a lotta stuff

and a whole pile of crazy

beautiful

ugly

in-between

unsure of itself

and yet

all mine

living

and just as that all

walked

through me

the sky cleared

and emptied of itself

and the metaphor

walked right off the stage with it

and i went back inside

and made breakfast

for my boy and i
