The sky whispers water
and the leaves turn on their backs
in hopeful submission.
We, the nomads,
ambulatory beings,
are not so blessed with the immediate relief
of understanding cloudburst patterns.

If my toes were roots,
and my palms
begged the moon for rain,
maybe I, too, would learn
to speak fluent with the clouds.
