To Steal the Sky

She held her tiny fists together
And wouldn’t show you,
What she found.
It was the sky.
You can tell her it’s not hers.
She knows,
But she took it anyway.
You can tell her she must return it,
Place the heavens back above,
So the world can get on with the day.
She will not.

What’s the point of stealing it,
When it’s not forever?

So she opened her fists,
Let her fingers relax.
And opened her mouth,
Swallowing it whole.
