Starting to Understand the Patterns of the Clouds

The sky spreads like butterscotch,
all I can ask is
how long have we been here
and yet know nothing
of the air escaping
the horizon?

The breath I sigh now
will reach your lips
in 11 days.

If not lifetimes,
what else do we have?

I'll meet you again
when we're both eggshells,
hatching sister
chickadees.
