yesterday on the terrace as night fed small but sparkling stars,
a mighty cloud formation of lush lips parted in a sigh;
but even as i looked they transformed, mutated,
the upper lip became an eagle with spreading wings,
the lower, a struggling tiger clutched in its talons.
i watched in wonder, believing my eyes this time
only because, after the floods last week, i know
these clouds are capable of anything.
