Clouds

Low cloud.
Imagining sunshine gives me a headache.

Woke up too early,
now I am late, Fooled around with words
for far too long.

The sky -
it's lower than my head.
Walking on four letter words,
feet too heavy for mud-lurking.

Ever sing the blues
when there is no blue around,
get my drift?

O those 'darling buds of May',
will they ever blossom?

So many questions,
and yet no breakfast.
