Closed Valentine

Someone has crudely drawn
a white line across the sky
meaning no sky entrance today
meaning the sky though blue
a feral radiant spotless blue
is closed for repairs today
or for some undisclosed feast-day
of the gods or their cloud-equivalents
because they’ve all gone
into the purely spiritual world
which surrounds the earth
like a skin or the integument
of a seed or like a sign nailed
to heaven’s gate O man
keep out all ye who hate
