clouds, shakespeare inspired

clouds

appear as shapes

dragons sometimes

forks and trees

naming the unnamable 

a search for home

(Anthony and Cleopatra)



busyness

seeming much to do

and the rain

in opposition

(King John)



tears

and swollen rivers

dissolving

the boundaries 

separating home

(Richard II)



the weather

seems to facilitate

or oppose

bringing to stories

uninvited guests

(Love's Labor Lost)



youth

a scattering for

experiences away

while never departing

from home

(Taming of the Shrew)
