Origami Piñata

The sky is folded & so
transformed
by every cloud that skates
past at an altitude
we have so diligently pursued
the way collapsing stars
tunnel through the sand
            something you never imagined
                        although you were expecting it

This place you now inhabit
            hit with shattered chrome
                        & darkened mirrors that
deny your reflection as you might gaze out through
windows painted black

it is the flawed pearl you’ve learned to treasure

& just as the tides answer to a mythology
older than the gravity that sleeps in every stone
cobbled along the shore
we share a residual devotion to every song of redemption
that has yet to be sung
