The Lone Blue Cloud - Nov. 1, 2025

What did I say?

 

I meant the white cloud

floating in a blue sea

that looks quite lonely

as the sky finally swallows it

 

perhaps its white memory

will be so overwhelmed

it’ll be convinced

it was only, ever, blue

 

like a big dog in danger

will sometimes revert

to the timidity

of a tiny one

 

or hummingbirds

who upsize courage

and chase ravens

out of their territory

 

anything can turn

a desperate moment

into a memory

that floats away

from the truth
