Clouds

from American Goodbye by Nancy Burke

lyrics

Clouds

Clouds, you perpetual
Immigrants, following
Close on each other like
Elephants, lumbering slow
Where will you go?

I saw you glide over
The forests, the cities
You scattered your silver
Your necklaces draping the boughs,
Where are you now?

CHORUS:
And which one,
Which one,
Which among you wears the heavy crown?
That one,
That one,
Floats a little closer to the ground.

Where is your pastureland?
Where do you go to
Replenish your sacks full of
Shadows, your amythest soul?
Where do you go?

You retreat to the evening,
It rises to meet you
The herd is dispersing,
It’s leaving the moon in its wake
So cool, so opaque.

CHORUS
