That Night in the Garden

What was the sky like
that night in the garden
it would have been fitting
that no light graced the dark
the clouds low, glowering
blocking out the stars

It wouldn’t have been right
after the Passover, the foreboding way
that Judas ran from the master’s words
for the stars to be twinkling,
a full moon rising
the night in the garden
to be shrouded, all closed in
