The Whereabouts of Heaven

I was building a skyscraper when I
ran out of sky and cozied up to
the whereabouts of heaven   above
our false hosannas   Way up in the clouds
where no one speaks but sings beautifully
above the movement of money  gunfights
and late stage cancer  grade school body counts
and shots per round   Up there in the blue beyond wonder
where tomorrow threatens no one  where angels woo the glade
