The Sky Behind You



you will be banished and you won't know why.
relegated to corners for awhile.
then you'll go out to play

and it will be your day again
although a little wounded.
wound upon wound will follow you

like the shadow
you can't get rid of
in the picture

even when they hand out sweets.

the one taken last summer
and the one before that.
you are smiling in your

blue and green
but the sky behind you
looks dark.
