Last night a perfect cloud passed by

quietly and fiercely

in the dim sky

I reached out in time

 

Only from the edge

I pulled out a small piece

pasted it in my secret place

listened to its breath and beats

 

This morning I felt a lump in my chest

hot, heavy and expanding

I let it cut right through me

then sparkles, rocks and red waters

all out overflowing

 

It’s too late to scream, cry and curse now!

I heard myself saying

It’s too early to moan, panic and despair still!

I heard the world saying

It’s time to live!

I heard the cloud saying
