Ceiling under the Sky

the sky
was an opaque blanket
a cotton sheet

and the sun,
a blue yellow light
blocked by the sheet

the sky was close by
close enough to touch

outside was like inside
a ceiling a few meters above the rooftops
like a tent of blankets
covering the earth

a pink light came from the northwest
along with an undecided
downpour of rain

brief, passionate and noncommittal
it came and went

the ceiling opened
the sky was replaced
