Love Palm

I remember now, how a palm
can open to the sky, as if asking for an answer
or surrendering to the void. It's the palm
of praying and pleading in the illuminated world.
A blessed palm with nothing to give.

The palm tells the sky what it wants, then
forgets what it was asking for in the huge
and perfect universe—like a mysterious ceremony
it let’s you believe for one altered moment that
somehow the dreamsky is hearing you.
