when clouds cry





warm drops drip down the face of the glass
to the melody of the desperate mockingbird

the taste of saline sky
tells her that time is shrinking

strong and erratic are the notes
unfurling her fear that she will never find a mate

so she sings stronger
for the snotty nosed stratus

who knows that when clouds cry
the birds will still sing

slow and steady he swims through sky
shedding tears on tongues who will sound his sad song
