Clouds

Float across the ocean of air

Look up to Cirrus her locks of white hair

We don’t live beneath it We live within

Watching it endlessly curve/curl in the wind

Mackerel sky, mackerel sky

Never long wet and never long dry

Silver scales, grey mares tails

Make lofty ships carry low sails

Splayed out in the meadow, away from the crowds

Idle and aimless my head in the clouds

Count all the emperors high

Kiwinuka's looming, he sparks as he sighs

Ribbons and steeples, pillars burst through

Daydream in pastels, refresh and renew-

Zepherous paints, she gives them away,

What a beautiful method of wasting the day

Crystals cascading through blankets of blue

The splendour, the rainbow, majestic the view
