"before you became a cloud, you were an ocean, roiled and murmuring like a mouth." "your heart puffed and flowered like sheets drying on a line." "…those condemned to death and those condemned to life watched how smooth and sweet a white cloud glides." "if you are a poet, you will see clearly that there is a cloud floating in this sheet of paper." -thichnhathanh
