I climbed aboard a clod

I climbed aboard a clod

I thought it was a cloud

that is what I dreamed for

I  expected  a soft floating trip

across the sky

but
 the clod

moved...not in a soft

rhythmic motion

it
hurtled like

a meteoric ball of fire

and
ended abruptly

against an adobe wall

leaving me

hurtling...falling

into an abyss below
