A Season of Wind. [https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1081627664932159620/1148820475057815553/anti_pirate_graphic_-_walking_in_sky_-_poetry_vol_1_-_white.png]

This house is painted one color of heaven,

is filled with clouds of circle-dust heat.

My grandmother's face is a reflection of sky,

an omen of coming rains despite clear blue eyes,

eyes that are two eclipsing moons

that change like light passing through water.

We come from a people who move water,

who tell rivers where to run with a voice like heaven

and where they should become lakes with the girth of the moon.

We carry their memories on our heads in the midday heat

as heavy jugs kept steady on our heads, above our eyes,

balanced as mysteriously as planes in the sky.

The calmness of the arbitrary sky

watches the earth drink people like glasses of water,

regardless of whose name makes them lower their eyes.

God is the only dictator in heaven,

God, who gives our spirits life with palm-friction heat,

looks at all through a microscope moon.

Nothing on this island is as cool as the moon

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

and only our neighbors are darker than the sky.

We, who have fought against god's heat,

try to give this place a new face of water,

to make lakes that refuse to mirror heaven

and only hold the image of man in their eyes.

Man-gods eat children like apples before their mother's eyes.

Memory of the dead hangs above each head, a relentless moon.

Prayers plead that there won't be victims in heaven,

that Eden isn't just another regime in the sky.

Undisputed power burns like stove hot water

boiling scolded skin with its heat.

My grandmother is a child of that dancing heat,

the only cold she has, she carries in her eyes.

Eyes can move in tides like water,

for they, too, are governed by the moon.

No one can choreograph the crowning sky,

not even ghosts who engineer the walls of heaven.

In the dam that is heaven, there is no heat.

God holds back the sky from overflowing into our eyes,

from flooding the basin moon with holy water.
