those of us who see people
animals and whole settings
portrayed by slowly moving clouds
are delighted by the “kissing camels”
especially as highlighted by rays
of a jovial Colorado sun
in the Garden of the Gods
of course, they are camels – we can see
their humps and elongated heads
stretched forward to show their affection
one for another
of course, cloud or rock camels would be
affectionate – our world is joyous
with unexpected moments of fun
wonder and awe
