I Can

I Can

I can look up at a blue sky
like it’s here just for me
on a day when gray clouds
would have pulled me
into the ground, the way
the earth drinks the rain.

I can write my emotions
in a poem till I’ve emptied
my soul, less weighty, less
dispirited over another
estranged someone I gave
my heart and needed to
take it back.

I can wake up tomorrow
and it will be the next day
farther from this one
full of intrinsic belief
that the sky inside my heart
will be blue no matter what.
