#2138 - the bounce of the clouds

the bounce of the clouds

possible addition to a field guide to Australian clouds

 

the bounce of the clouds when we’re up

 

face reflected

having risen

 

in all the languages of sky

 

only ever half observed

 

clouds feed on the kingdom come

 

it’s everywhere they sail

and careless to a whim, high seas

 

here’s a shine to the bone - projection

 

a disorder thereof

clouds being like a question

 

where are they from? none know

 

of what? no anger but the dark

 

without them, what’s a sky to give?

 

are brief, there is no time in them

 

they are multitudes

and trip the stars, re-start

ours too

 

they are a vanish

 

weigh a ton but never fall

unless, and tell me tears

your guess

 

a cloud is always halfway there

 

they’re tortoise and the hare, we are

early in life

seen, seldom heard

 

sudden with us they all are

look up to know them

 

sometimes snow

the coal like dark of distance in them

lower than other heavens

 

we are all composed of some sky
