Poem: The Cloud

 

The Cloud

 

pitiable in its fluff, the cloud

failed to find release,

just hung there,

dense with unseen yet obvious emotion.

 

its seamless wallpaper of snail flesh,

deliberate and obstinate as

tectonic plates, inched and

inched and inched until

 

it became what happens to a body of water

which holds onto a lie so tightly

that it rises up, phantom grey,

to inform a tragic statue.

 

yes,

 

belly full of electric lust,

frustrated in a wallow of

merciless gravity, the cloud moaned

without a sound, ignored

 

by lawn after manicured lawn,

patio squared against patio,

and all the grills searing flesh

in barbecued lines.
