Listen to poem:

A Troth Off Clouds

A Troth of Clouds
David J Walker

That’s the thing about a drought 
Clinging to any hint that things are about
to change 
That clouds will rearrange their 
Formations of the fanciful 
floating menagerie of imagination
into an apologue of Storm Clouds
or long soaking gentle rains

(I try but fail to remember the smell
Of moisture mixed with earthy dirt
The textures of the mix of mud  
That somehow mixed and created
flesh and blood 
on Earth as it is in heaven)

That’s the think about a troth of clouds
Ever changing their minds
