Today's poem is by David Hernandez
Sincerely, the Sky
Yes, I see you down there
looking up into my vastness.What are you hoping
to find on my vacant face,there between the crisscross
of telephone wires?You should know I am only
bright blue now because of physics:molecules break and scatter
my light from the sunmore than any other color.
You know my variationsazure at noon, navy by midnight.
How often I find youthen on your patio, pajamaed
and distressed, head thrownback so your eyes can pick apart
not the darker version of myselfbut the carousel of stars.
To you I am merely background.You barely hear my voice.
Remember I am most vibrantwhen air breaks my light.
Do something with your brokenness.
