Cloud
By Dawnell Harrison
My ravished tears cloud
And freeze to ice drops
And freeze to ice drops
In this negative twenty
Degree weather.
The timid light does
Not enfold me in its arms.
It’s a day for a silent shroud
Of ghosts, stalactites in caves,
And bats coming up like
Large, dark shadows
In the sullen night.
