Surrender
The skies were blue
meaning the school children
were outside again
observing
& learning
Used to be it was like an accident
when the sky was blue
some calling it
an (once-upon-a-time) omen
a second coming of sorts
After so many years
the skies were blue again
perhaps an anomaly
inherited from antiquity
redefining what it means to surrender
this day & age
february two thousand twenty-four
