Nimbus Cloud

When it opens its large dark eyes wide and then flashes the big eye-lashes landscape lights up with darkness birds, herdsmen, cattle scamper for shelter But when it closes its eyes and falls asleep blue sky spreads as blanket to horizons families take hoes, animals come from hiding and there are activities, noise, songs all over Nimbus cloud is a cobra in the landscape none a friend, none a relative, none a spouse it destroys without building; no repair and bites all without sparing, without reason The landscape mourns wherever it descends Short-lived feasting as it closes its large eyes
