Cloud Mountains
By Jeffrey Agnoli

 

At certain times of the year

when the water is cold 

and the air warm or 

the water warm 

and the air cold

massive clouds form over

the ocean and appear

like mountains so near

one might imagine hiking

into them and climbing

effortlessly into their 

salty mystic light.
