Standing in the Clouds
In video games I go to
High
Places
Just to be
Standing in the clouds
Nothing more
Surreal
Than obscurity
Imagine what that would be like
Finest of mists
Swirling around you
A flick of the wrist sends
Ripples
For ages
Through the air
Like the butterfly effect
Do you see what your
Breath
Does
To everything?
Condensation
Denser still than fog
Gathers in beads
On your sleeves
On your face
Little clear freckles
To your eyes
A pale blanket
Wreathing your body
Imperceptibly
A cocoon of haze
Dampening even the sound
Of your heartbeat
And you inhale
The opposite of cold nights
Fog from your warmth leaving
Fleeing upward to become
Clouds
That later someone
Else
Breathes
Stealing your warmth from
Some other time
Though it is
Colder
Now
Than it was before
Standing in the clouds
