The Sky Sins Against Us
Christopher Hivner
The moon cast down light
to dance in,
light to make sure
of our intentions
on the road to Hana.
The moon rose high above
to be our beacon,
our raison d’etre,
to check our glances
for more than we planned
to reveal.
The sky sins against us
with no open transom
and footprints to follow.
The suffocating expanse
rises in shadow,
rises for the death
it drags behind,
for the harvest of women and children
it expects to feast upon.
It rises over the moon,
our moon,
who casts down light
to dance in.
