Cloudy You

White blew across the blue
like lucent paint on sky
and one was shaped like you
with head and breasts and thigh
You said it could have been
any girl I ever knew
but in that cloudy heaven
I saw only you
You who sailed across my sky
when I was seventeen
and before you said goodbye
vanished from the scene
