Life on the Clouds

Thomas W Case



The birds started
singing at ten to four
this morning;
coaxing the dawn on
with their song.

The sex would be
great on the clouds
that I saw yesterday.
They looked like
rows of fresh
cauliflower.
Every position would be
a little miracle;
perfect depth and
perception.

The sweat stung
my eyes as I
smoked in the
sweltering July
sun.
I wish I could
live in the clouds...
No job
No taxes or tired back.
Just relaxing in
that puffy white
perfection.

        This, my friend, is a lovely expression of "if only....". I l also love how you juxtapose the lofty, free floating clouds with life down here on the ground! Well done, Thomas! 🌹👏
