One Day

They have written of the sky as
the “star-torn blanket of the night” 

and of the moon

as a white communion wafer

as the Buddhist female
to be covered by the sun

but when I looked

the light moon had
a torn-pink-paper edge

the sky

was a clear blue dome over
and wrapped all around

for once

I might have centred in
my own universe

but it was another cause

the girl died soon after
