Who Wonders at All?
The cloud is a prisoner.
The sky holds; contains it.
Who wonders at all
that people can see any
and everything in a cloud?
Who on earth has ever said,
“Look at that sky so full of itself!”
Maybe you have heard as I have,
when it is a particularly pretty day,
“The sky is so cloudless.”
I don’t know which is worse,
to be gazed at and assigned all possibility
or to be seen, quick, clear through,
for what you lack.

The sky and cloud metaphor was so thought-provoking because I had never thought about it before, but then final lines are immediately clear. I love that.
I think this one is my favorite so far.
