Cloud Cartography

I noted in my diary

It was such a strange enquiry

Have you a book on meteorology,

A thesis on cloud cartography?

All our certainty, subject to memory

Melts like a cloud

Melts like a cloud

All our certainty, inadvertently

Melts like a cloud

Melts like a cloud

Mist descends on the mountain,

He took me out for observing.

I asked ‘what are we measuring’?

The clouds were dark and billowing.

All our certainty, subject to memory,

Melts like a cloud

Melts like a cloud.

All our certainty, inadvertently,

Melts like a cloud,

Melts like a cloud.
