I had  no place
to go
but went anyways…

 

Cloud heaven on Dodge Rd. 9-1-16
clouds galore on Stevenson Rd. 9-1-16
clouds on their way someplace further...
clouds along Stevenson Rd.
circling as if that were all there was to do...
wings aloft
crows in flight...
wings high overhead
I had no place to go but went anyways...
