Cloud Symbols

Cloud symbols rain the earth to cut

rivulet with water,

until the corn bear parcels of plenitude

in golden ears (or red, yellow, white, blue,

to prove its cosmopolitan patrimony).

Serrate with design,

lightning to prefigure thunder

and pollen of the skies

falls petalwise in summertime

in fragrance of moistened air.

Sun shines more clear

after the inundation, and pueblos hold

the hand into the clear-cut atmosphere

to prove identity of being

(and blue veins reap the color of the air).

Cloud symbols to dome the mountains.
