The Faces of the Heavens (poem)

I saw the face of a goddess
etched into the clouds
like a piece of Greek pottery.
Her tranquil face peered earthward,
at her opposite,
a howling mortal woman.

A row of trees broke my view
of the shining tranquility
and the howling mortality.
When the trees passed,
they were gone,
they had become formless clouds.

-Zero
