Upside Down
The sky
was upside down today
Grey white scudding clouds
in ridges across the sky
were the ridges of a beach
all dumping into the
bluesky sea beyond
I was upside down also
coming home from the
eye doctor
nearly blind from the drops
my world indecipherable
So I made a soup
Safest port in a storm
and called a friend
and spent the time wanting to speak
as she poured out her heart
But all ended well
and the world righted itself
just in time for
a bowl of soup and
the nightly news
