Cloud My Vision

                                                                                                                                                    
cirrocumulus stratiformis
accumulate like cotton balls
and
stretch

and

knit 
and jostle-stitch
across the woollen skies.

no audition

held;
just met and

in the spotlight swept,

brief cameo of layers
of white puff pastry players,

they curl their hair,

slip-slide their way through
audience's stares.

shapeshifting,

weightless,

lifting

goes their perfect guest appearance,

momentary

beauty in the air,

no airs and graces,

standing on occasion,

no waiting for ovation.
