Meg Smith
Because
you could
not go,
I
will meet them,
in some due time,
and
tell them of
your final flight --
and
this, they
know, because their
blue
is filled
with final flights,
and
catching the
ground, but lightly.
I
will tell them
you have caught your fire.
I
will tell them,
my gaze is empty, and the world is
empty of clouds.
