cotton candy clouds…
the sunset turns
the sky pink
drifting clouds…
playing a game of peek-a-boo
with the harvest moon
wild silence…
the space between
clouds

the village graveyard –
a girl at her grandma’s side
waves to the clouds
dark clouds
over unharvested fields
echo of war
watching clouds
float above …
why worry
