  1. clouds in the sky
    singing
    magpie chorus

    foam abounds
    poof…the liquid rises
    spring cocktail

    ice cream memories
    clouds float with glee
    sand, so course beneath me

  2. Grey sea over the jet
    Cotton wakes and suds
    Bursting with tears

    Foreign eyes
    Lands unknown
    Same clouds

    Leaded storm and clouds
    A note in the windshield:
    “Come now, it’s cold.”

  3. balcony garden
    speaking to clouds
    loss shaped

    meadow clouds
    arrangement of soft light
    passing through

    cloudy spring
    holding on a flower bed
    late rain

  4. little cloud
    chasing mother
    summer twilight

    autumn clouds
    comforting my father
    cremation tower

    cloud
    move a little
