  1. Venerated Clouds

    Ellis leapt from one decorative stone to the next in the backyard path, avoiding grass, peas dribbling from the cast-iron pan in his hands. The pan clanged against the stone at the base of the statue. He touched his head to the ground three times, bunching his muscles to sprint to the house.

    "Don't go."

    "What? You talk."

    "One sleeps and the years pass." Decaying leaves draped over the statue's head. Her blue lips moved. "You are nearly grown."

    "Nana?"

    She laughed. "One name for me. Better, perhaps great-great-great-nana."

    "Is it true?"

    "Is what true, child?"

    "Am I cloud kin?"

  3. summer
    lush vines possessively lay claim.
    a jealous lover

    fall
    desire wanes.
    a fickle lover

    winter
    passion dies
    a lamented lover

    spring
    ardor begins anew
    a fledgling lover
