I TRIED TO MAKE CLOUDS

i tried to make clouds today
for davy, my friend.
because one time he gave me
a book and wrote kind things on
the inside cover.

i consulted the birds on this matter
they all agreed;
the clouds they prefer
are the ones that smell blue.blue.[blu]

so i gathered broken crayons, wishbones,
and orange peels.
i even got my neighbor to share the
light from the firefly he keeps in a jar.

i mixed them all together
and tied your favorite color to it.

according to my calculations, Venus
is on the left.
so tonight, while the stars are just stars
and there are still honeybees in Africa,
i gave davy clouds, the kind that
smell blue


a side note- i am learning the words to taylor swift to sing as lullabies.
