October 21st

The sky wasn’t red for love tonight.
Orange blood scraped
across a wound-less blue.

Beneath—
clouds drifted like glaciers,
burning the spine of the horizon.

A crowd caught mid-inhale;
mouths open, arms raised,
trying to hold what was slipping.

I wondered—

How many eyes turned upward,
snagged in the orange web?
How many hearts synchronized,
holding breath—
forgetting where it hurts.
