She Only Photographs Clouds

she only photographs clouds.
clouds as if they were foreign destinations
exotic locations

where the film crews rule
clouds as if  they were ancestors
the trace of rose left as a legacy

the tangerine compensating for
everything left unsaid
or angels 

drifting, among the newly coronated dead.
there are legends that say
there were people who came from the clouds

sky legends, she has read them all
from azure corner to corner
and home, among the lilies.
