A Crying Rainbow

Before falling on my nature covered
window it had
a journey
Before it splattered on the thin glass
like a mini parachute
it fell
all the way from the gray clouds that hang in the air
like worn, ripped, low hanging jeans

Behind the living, towering trees
and the miles of city and people and animals and
stories and thoughts I can only know is all there
the sun is calm
settling somewhere in Arizona
I can't see it
just a faint pink halo
of light on the
not-so-flat horizon
I imagine a small bob
as if suspened on a rope
hanging
waiting for excitment
big as a quarter
I try not to look at it
but cannot break away
from it's trance

   The rainbow comes
          arching over the whole world like
                  an angel
                        just being itself
                              colors pouring into the sky
                        A small strip of light
                   If heaven was anywhere I
           think I might like
    for it to be above a rainbow
                               
                                  on the still
                                  white, happy clouds that
     don't know what to do with their grumpy, sweating
       family that insists on sweating all the time over
                                     the beautiful world
