Hungry Clouds
Clouds
Cumulous, dense, fluffy, gorgeous
Clouds
Profuse, passionate, powerful,
Poetic black and white
Intensely desirous like the light for the cave
Or the river from the mountain on the valley
Though black, gray and white near the shore
Deep inside the core
Ripe crimson lore of tomato like hunger
Waiting and counting down the minutes
And the counting hastens
Too impatient to hold water
Very seldom we can do
We all love the dew
In a diversity of hue
But still biding its time as I saw them
The clouds
Dense, dark and delighted
Biding its time
For the sun to go out
Enabling the concentrated vapors to darken
For the thunderous collapse
In a purple plunge down
On the starving earth
Inside its curious caves and crescents
In tempest and tornadoes
Beautifully blooming blows
All windows open
The brimming dam broken
Buddha smiles
At the existential styles
