SKY?

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Tomato-coloured Couch 9:21pm

I wonder if I can wring out

a poem about A Sky

I didn’t see

Oh — I saw The Front of It

with Its opulent Gold

hiding the sun —

but the back of It went uninspected

& only later to be imagined

with Its pale pinks, lavender

& clouds of thinning Silver
