  1. aimlessly –
    cloud on the waves
    the first trip

    °
    I’m a dreamer
    among chalk clouds
    barefoot

    °
    flashes of sky
    among scattered clouds-
    cornflowers

  2. 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
