and nothing is ever missing:
who looks at the sky last

because the sky is only one
and the earth is all in pieces.

Heaven belongs to everyone — The sky belongs to everyone 5

Dear Gianni: how much fun all the children, the boys and girls of heaven are having, all in a circle around you listening to your poems, your stories and your fantasies!
