Let’s Let the Sky
A poem
By Robin Lee
let’s let the sky
relax a bit today
let’s let the clouds
lie a little lower
let’s let the buildings
incline this or that way
towards or away from
each other
let’s let the birds
float past the windows
like fish in a tank
their scarlet cries
smearing pastel, and
as well, let’s let the
sky sigh one grateful
sigh and relax a bit
today
Robin Lee is a Kentfield-based poet. Lee’s poem was submitted as a ‘counter’ to our recent publication of W.B. Yeats’ ‘Second Coming,’ which ran on Jan. 1, 2025.
