How to Write a Poem About the Sky

How to Write a Poem About the Sky

By Leslie Marmon Silko

You see the sky now

Colder than the frozen river

So dense and white

Little birds

walk across it

You see the sky now

But the earth is lost in it

And there are no horizons

It is all

a single breath

You see the sky

but the earth is called

by the same name

the moment

the wind shifts

sun splits open

and bluish membranes

push through slits of skin

You see the sky
