Clouds seeding
Birds drop dry ice in the sky and dissolve.
Clouds rain in submission,
gather whatever is left of them.
The word hisses the innards of the clouds.
They disperse like a deer running for life in the wild.
You say rain tears the roofs of open homes,
corrodes the newborn mouths,
while no one roams the ward,
mothers condense on my skin.
My fingers stop scrolling in the air momentarily,
watch them grey before age.
Some thunders, here and there, sound inwards.
Sky hungers in those quick cascades,
remembers the soft daybreak,
velvety cream of the rays caking,
and how it holds the vastness of many blue oceans in its forgiving heart.
