Islands


hollow islands in the sky

float by undisturbed,

merge and pull apart

as if some magical force

guided their interactions;

islands if all shapes and colors

all sizes and shades

leisurely drift by

blocking the sun

preventing falling rain

casting shadows all around

menacing the animals

who hide underground;

islands form faces

hideous and calm

slide by undetected

except for children

laying on their backs

on the ground

imagining and wondering

why there are so many.
