Can you spin a cloud onto a stick;
collect sparklets of sunlight from a river;
walk the moon’s highway over the sea?
There are times when happiness might belong
in this list; I thought so today when you cried
and we were not there to put our arms around you.
Happiness seemed very remote just then;
you might as well have tried to fill a jar with blue sky
and I thought I heard a hollow clank from the universe.
