ABALONE SKY



Clouds dance
stately,
slow.
Ripples mingle
milk white
with fragile pink fingers
folded over threads
of steel grey.
The air is cold.

Irritating
grain of sand
like a nail
embedded
in the palm
of the hand;
pain cultures
layer upon layer,
growing slow--
becoming pearl
under a dome
of abalone sky.
