Do Not Thread Your Clouds Through That Blue Needle

oh, Lord do not thread Your clouds
through that blue
needle of a sky
let them drift dreamily away

having been warned
oh Lord do not spill thread upon silken thread
of your extravagant rainbow over
these dark waters;

may Your rainbows find the Ark
and hide away.
it is the needling sky that watches me

it is the needling sky that watches me
it is the needling sky that watches me
having no pity

and no Heaven
