New York City Part Four (once I entered and came second in a poetry prize)

I saw a man changing

His clothes.

He was reflected in the window 

And it looked like he was standing 

In the clouds 

In the night sky.

Above the city lights 

And I thought about heaven,

And I thought about God

With this man standing in the clouds.

His casual way of moving

Unaware of being watched.
