I lie awake
Speaking mysteries
Only to the skies
They speak calmly
Whispering monotones
Serene changes
Except for their eyes
That blink and stare
Once crimson
Then yellow
But now the hues
have gone astray
The brilliant mellow
Won’t stay
Mind your budget
She says
Fix your gadgets
Adjust your bubble
You get to be
The boss of one
The sky won’t budge
And men won’t bend
The snow must fall
You be you
And that is all
You get to do
