If Yesterday Was Today, I'd Feel Better Already

 

The sound of the sky displaced you
You sauntered off, picked out several
morning glories
cleaned your muddy hands with the
dew on their petals

Keep going
You're resourceful
Sun at your back
Hand over your squinted eyes
What do you see?

A field of agony

wheat and weeds and a dead deer
a tattered frame of a kite
an empty beer can
Look further
Something's coming
Shadows from above
A sound you've never heard

the sky is sifting down
You better run.

I guess it could be! I don't

I guess it could be! I don't really low where this came from or what it means. It just spewed out of me.
