Written by: Ira Ferris
Read by: Michelle St Anne of the Living Room Theatre (https://livingroomtheatre.org/)

To observe the clouds and hear the whisper see: https://vimeo.com/446721733
The poem was also inspired by Ada Smailbegovic’s essay ‘Cloud Writing: Describing Soft Architecture of Change in the Anthropocene’ where she writes about ephemerality of clouds and says: “Clouds' edges always remain pliable and soft, casting them towards other clouds and the infinite possibilities of mixing and dissolution.”
