Listening to every heart

If I were to sigh
heavily enough,
would the carbon dioxide
color you gray and torrential

would you then
gather yourself up and
over me

that I might reach up to your underbelly,
a slender finger
along your cumulonimbus,
poking holes

that one of us may find relief?

i have no idea what a cumulonimbus is.


images swell and descend
slowly melding
to innocence
and evil

I first checked the on-line dictionary to see if there was any other type of definition for cumulonimbus, but there wasn't

It seems to me that these words support and desire the need for a severe rain shower to occur in order to provide relief to either the built-up pressure in the cloud or to the person below on which the rain would fall.

Enjoyed!

I have never quite looked at it this way before..
But, with today's heat and humidity..
I can't wait to see the underbelly of a cloud!
Good stuff me friend.

    Has held me in the same embrace~

Whew! I agree with my sister, Enchantress, let it "pour." Great write dear one. Chris

Ahhh yes....Let it POUR!    Love the way your words POUR over me Sunshinygirl.

This is a

Maree  


fate is not just
whose cooking  smells good
but which way the wind blows
