NaPoWriMo Day 8: Sky

Sky

I wrapped your clothes in sky

Sewed them with cloud

Mended their holes with

Thunder.

I wrapped your eyes in sky

Covered them with atmosphere

So you would only see your favorite

Color.

I wrapped your neck in sky

To hide the bruise and then

I fashioned a cloud necklace

Around you.

I cleaned your body in sky

Wrung the clouds like wet cloths,

Sponged off your old sorrow

Rinsed your creased brow

I tugged down the last of the sky

Brought it down around you

I wrapped your body in sky

Tucked it close to your skin

It made you so light that

The wind gathered you up

and you slipped out of my hands

and now you’re gone.

Gone.
