Sky high
The droplets merged
Bent and curved
By the motion of the clouds
As if the baleen hair
From a leviathan whale
Combed the whole of the blue sky
The sun she watched
at the other end of the blue
Dipping towards the ocean
Knowing she would return
As the wash would fall into the earth
Not to be seen again
Until they were
