The tops of clouds,
           cotton kingdom white.
The sun lights their alabaster peaks.
Here, I feel like a cherub of heaven.

Arial tin can, hurls through the mist,
           rumble of turbulence quake,
like a tremor, isolated in the sky.
Beautiful flight, impervious to earthly sorrow.

Outside the window, a cold comfort
           made of moisture.
The outstretched reach of the earth-
Even above it, I still am not free.

For even down upon the earth,
I am alone.
