You,
 
white steam
gliding through the Smurf-blue sky
 
soft as milk
or a cat's gentle blink.
 
Floating             
like one long quivering violin note
 
you lag up our windowpanes
with cotton.
 
Stay. Please, don’t let this peacefulness escape!
Fine, if you must go
 
take back this calm.
No, it’s yours, I insist –
 
carry it wherever you go
the mindfulness of your white skin
 
the nimbus-wisdom.
Go correct someone else
 
on what they think they know.

Beautiful metaphors. Quite an abstract poem it makes one think.
