Blue Sky Fell

Blue Sky Fell

 

As the man
Stepped outside his door
The blue sky fell down
As he smoked
A cigarette
His eyes became red

When his wife
Did scream out loud
A baby came out
Its face
Was strawberry red
His mother was dead

The man
Held up his son
Raised him to the clouds
The rain
Fell down on him
Hot rain on cold skin

As the man
Stood broken with pain
The blue sky fell down
As he smoked
A cigarette
His eyes became red.
