(mostly) short poems on life and love

touch the clouds

July 24, 2023 by Michael Guerin

as a kid
i climbed every tree
in my old
neighborhood

hoping to touch
white cotton-candy
clouds,
my outstretched

index finger
straining towards
an indifferent
sky

while older boys
infused the sweltering
summer air
with obscenities.
