  4. Bullet the Blue Sky*

    I went outside 
    to watch the 
    stars.
    
    It is as if 
    all the bullets 
    from the war 
    have been fired 
    into the sky,
    tearing holes 
    in the black velvet 
    for a little bit 
    of heaven 
    to shine 
    through.
    
    Every once 
    in a while 
    the fabric rips 
    as a shooting star 
    races across 
    the sky,
    but then 
    it quickly 
    mends 
    itself.

    November 2, 1988
    La Esperanza, Nicaragua

    Part of the continuing Ugly American series, a selection of writings from my travel journals from Central America in 1988

    *From the U2 song of the same title
