Free verse № 1502
the only square cloud
the only square cloud i have seen
is your suspended bed
drifting within stepladder range.
you dragged me aboard
and we spent the afternoon
playing two naked angels
taking a tumble,
heading for a fall.
we spent the evening
sharing the same rosey breath,
knitting our eyelashes and
weaving our hair until we slept.
we climbed down in the morning
much later than our waking,
ex-angels joining the world.
tender feet on solid ground,
we tethered your cloud
for keeping for the afternoons.
