Pictures from the Sky



Memories stolen from
tornadoed communities
end up miles away

pictures from the sky
flying through inner space


each a scrap of time:
girl in graduation gown;
drunken grins at a party

pictures from the sky
flying through inner space


the wedding reception
cake fight; all sucked up,
snatched away by the wind

pictures from the sky
flying through inner space


just waiting to be returned
by some stranger in another
county or another state.

Pictures from the sky
flying though inner space.
