Coded Valentine

Long short long short short
And then after a little while
One last long cloud in which
 
The sun is struggling
Like a tiny fish on the black hook
Of the horizon
 
Or a word the mouth remembers
But the mind forgot
Slowly coming back
 
Clouds whose names we don’t recall
But whose faces we’d
Remember anywhere
 
The code of the dead
Is to shout and shout
But we hardly hear a thing
