Buffing the Surface of the Clouds


The days now short.
The sun diminished.
But the wind is not always unkind,
not always pushing from behind.
Consider how sometimes the elements gather
only for the purpose of buffing the surface of the clouds,
to send them scudding over us
as armadas of sailing ships
and prairie schooners heading in improbable directions
and polar bears on icy shelves
and white carnations without stems.
— Mitchell Hegman
