Clouds Can Have Faces
Clifford K. Watkins, Jr.
clouds can have faces
of varying
size
shape
and races
people reign
and fade into abstraction
reality is no less fleeting
listless
the whisperer is alone
beneath skies of blue
the moon is a mannequin's head
faceless
and
distant
a symbol of futility
less than figment
the befuddled look
of an inept liar
a fly in a scatter garden
