Pageant in the Troposphere

Do you trust the clouds today?
Sky-wild and fragmentary,
carriers, adversaries.
What tired hands
beat for at the end
of the play, What
dancing men leap for
escaping a stage:
Lay claim, lay claim!
Wind-sleuths of absence,
burlesque nonsense,
Let it rain, ludicrous,
Let it rain!
