Dawn by Yvonne Medina


She sits at her loom in the sky.
Snow sticks to her eyelashes
and streaks her raven hair.
She takes a skein of sorrow
dawn’s early blue
weaves a bit of wistfulness
then leaves the threads undone.
Her sigh becomes a cloud
and the cloud sings with rain
upon the earth miles below
so much heavenly pain.
