Clouds

Συννεφιασμένος

Help me journey beyond the
Familiar into the unknown
A malléable promise
In my most xenial character
A generous glass to hold
The contents of my heart
Blue tiled star
Black sky

Fair amount of feelings
Wavering carelessly
In the air

Tip the head back
Warm water poured over
Heavy blanket of heat
Silver lining

Forgive me for wanting more
Needing less only
To hold my breath

Requesting clarification for
All future endeavors

Nothing sour quite yet
Blue jeans and momentary
Strings attached

Wet the whistle on
Cloudy days

Darling, dance like a dragonfly
     Even when narcolepsy sets in;
Fireflies will keep us awake,
     Watch me get lighthearted.

Moonlight over some pretty blue grass,—
Or the way the clouds hang like coral cauliflowers
In the sky when I see the world through different eyes,
     Notice how the praying mantises have so little to complain about outside?

Of the people who live there, I realize- the forest leaves will turn around,
     There is a new rule that you are breaking but you didn’t know existed!
Trees might yearn to find a carpet of herbage to magically fly away on.

Clouds across my face
Why do I feel so displaced
One minute I am on top of the world
No need to push the positivity
It’s there it’s in me and I’m
Reassured that I can accomplish
Almost anything and then a ton of bricks
The clouds roll in it’s like
I can’t get it one hundred percent right
It’s unrealistic to think that
Anyone could it happens every time
I’m tracking and then backtracking
A reason to celebrate something
Comes in to knock me down and
To remind me that there are more
Obstacles to overcome get me down
You need to clean harder NOW
You need to watch your time NOW
Be smarter you are overstepping NOW
There is no leniency for error NOW
My incompetence is evident
Because I don’t have all the facts
And I become emotional when the truth
Is new the facts have changed I’m going hard
Showing up strong and still
Find another person another
Law another rule that wants to
Say unfortunately for you
This doesn’t translate
So show up better next time
But also be prepared to find fresh air
The clouds will always roll in unexpectedly
But they cannot stand in front
Of our opportunity to keep blowing
Disconcertion from despair
