.
today,
while watching trees
hold up the sky
I note
that they grow tired,
shifting to-and-fro,
and so
I warm the wooden handle
of my kitchen knife
to slice through blue
in one clean cut
like gutting fish,
spilling heavens all-around
while everything
beyond my comprehension
slowly scribbles down
like Nietzschean confetti

I like this. Gutting blue and opening up heaven and exploding every thought into open awareness. That's what I see here. (isn't it fun to see how weird a stanger's interpretation can be, like playing telephone with poetry!)

Wow! This is so beautiful... I loved the way you present this interesting idea... Splitting the gut of the heavens... :-) You really are amazing, you know?

Thank you for your comments, but your phrasing conjures a new image ... what if by slicing blue, it rains down laughter? A single solution for some of the world's problems, released in one fell-swoop.
I see another poem being cut with that knife.
