Clouds and Shadows

Everything that surrounds Blanca reaches for the mountain, somehow. The clouds lower themselves to engulf her. My house extends its shadow to her. My eyes, lungs, heart expand to take her in.

Sometimes I complain that nothing ever happens out here. Yet the clouds' slow drama is ongoing. The sky changes from one moment to the next. In sunlight and moonlight, shadows carry on their intense, silent life.
