Wooing under the Clouds
Ineluctably, you woo me. The clouds
Are heavy, but no rain falls
You speak, then turn away
You promise so much,
That I am undone. The clouds
Are grey, but no thunder rolls
Hell is limbo, stasis
I ask what you desire,
you give me words, formless, gray as clouds
Foreboding, but unfruitful
A glimmer, the merest flicker of light would help
Or the patter of gentle words on the parched earth
No matter. I am yours.
