Can a Sky be Mountainous?
I ask the paper as I sit on a bench
at Templehofer Feld under a flat graying sky
on Xmas Eve day and a trio of mid
twenty year old heavy coated seemingly woman
faced wanderers go strolling by
in silence and it makes me think that now
even in this Disney laced Hallmark holiday
season spectacle with the shops
all closed with nowhere to go
nothing to do with work on pause
just the ones you find yourself amongst
not talking to so comfortably
after catching up and with the security
to cry and laugh in this small break
away from being gears of society and economy
now is the time to stay silent
as the night darkens silent as a star now
is the time to just be starlight joining
with other starlight walking
all the way around the field
from birth until death together.
