This Jigsaw Piece Of Cloud

this jigsaw piece of cloud
is perhaps getting too much light on it
already it has grown through the

skylight of the Great Museum
of  the Curio Cabinet Kabakov
soon it will rain inside

opals on the underside of leaves
of the monkey puzzle tree in the inner courtyard
where people speed up their strolling

looking for marbled shade
while angels roll up the margins
of the pictures glittering

through the maze

people will take out their umbrellas
printed with Monet
and stray toward the gift shop,

seeking shelter.
but lingering,I'm in between,
a sea cave dream

washed in aquamarine.
