Indiana

midwestern morning skies i've seen

the sun stretch thru the clouds

to pierce the earth from space

it is nothing like distressed leather


shhh

the AM radio, the interstate

forgiveness, resilience

Rod Sterwart and The Small Faces

proclaim It's All Too Beautiful

to the beat of glass shattering

in a city, probably


midwestern morning skies i've seen

the sun stretch thru the clouds

to pop the dreams that sleep us

they are not selling m&ms, peanut
