Heavenly Horse Shoes by A. Paige White He builds himself a voice
And gives it a toss.
Lassoing a cloud
With his sonar lariat.
Equal parts sound and water molecules
Floating mysteriously against the blue
Scattering vowel and consonant
Breezing and puffing across the continent
Looking up from broken grief
Riding recent misery
It looks to be a feathered laurel,
Each leaf gently sculpted
In the circular wreath,
A laurel fit for a champion,
For a God.
Crowning a cloud
shaped like nuclear combustion.
It hangs there in a steady position.
