Stuck Inside a Cloud

You are the audio jack in which all
My hidden worlds are plugged.
Singsong voice, darting eyes, chord
Strumming man, so well disguised.
Melodies lock faraway eyes.
 
Sun sets. Dullness, those perky corners
Fall. Battery’s run low; no words. Blues
Play as showers scorch. Hot won’t do.
Tepid water as valves strain. Seems it
Won’t do.                 It will not do.
 
But there is life around you. How
Joyous it is            to remember
Your bottomless company. Make it
Real slow. Easy, or it’ll burn. Soon –
Oh, soon, voices will be honeyed.
 
Now he’s back. Wrinkles spread like
Frozen butter on stale bread. Loosened
Jaw charms the knowing. It isn’t long
Until there’s one wrapped up in charm.
The old bray of laughter rises as balloons.
Float into galaxies; find me there.
