touching as clouds,
calmly, without incident, in peripheral visions,
cumulus blooms stretch and rise
// hulls rubbing in the tide;
droplets collide, ride boiling heavenward:
where warm air crashes sky,
and cool airs splash into a
sea of white:
jovian winds shatter sail and shudder.
disperse the sponges of the world, fair angels!
and taint not this crystal purity
lofted with white wings.
one atom calls out to another
the edge is defined, repealed, painted again
// picasso taught them how
pixels regenerate,
self-replication from the white blue water:
a raindrop, a thousand umbrellas.
breezes crest and break upon the beaches of the sky.
// a moment is a forever loop ...
fall out. and watch
the white overtake the sky,
vanquishing the neon afternoon.
electric scars the sky with ozone, silent,
then charging, timpani for a daffodil.
...cascade...
planetary ash, a phoenix,
a shower upon our skin.
