Cloud Forming

It needs to be populated,
needs a landscape, skyscape
or seascape
some gymnastic escape
into a cloud-forming poem.

Mind meanders,
it picks up diamonds and garbage
from its endless highways.
Mental are the minders
of our inner fires.

Space to be filled
made to talk
from a universal nothingness.
Finger-painting moments.

Populations emerge
over a dim horizon
walk until almost seen,

then too often they turn
only to walk away.
