Cumulodrop

What if we've been lied to?
And fog is not water vapor
Rising from the ground or laying low,
Condensed, and filtering through town?

What if they're clouds
Born in the firmament, but now
Long-worn, collapsing?
Making a religious pilgrimage
Like native spirits,
Like grey elephants?

Every wetland, low lying pocket of air:
Burial grounds, all.
