pink sky

the sun washed
the whole city in pink
the same frenzied warmth
as your closed mouth grin
i like to think it was your way
of saying one last jagged truth
cloaked in subtle wit

your eyes never smiled
but your heart brimmed
with the world’s highest & lowest
i’m sorry we only saw a spark
i’m sorry we didn’t understand
until the world flooded pink
with the sky that day
