Morning Sky

We couldn’t tell when it would happen.

The sky would tap
The windows, pink as fingertips.

An accident of clouds and light, as
Cold as thinning air.

It wasn’t anything
That anyone could touch.

When people tell me ways they
Found a god, I always think of clouds – of my bare feet
Flat on the floor

All the windows lit like love.
