An Ekphrastic Sonnet

"Cloud Face" by Aykut Aydoğdu
Imagining you is quite difficult
Is this prosopagnosia’s onset?
A face forgotten suffers an insult
What did not coalesce, can we forget?
The shape and hue of your eyes I can’t see
You might vote Green, or Libertarian
Your ambiguity fascinates me
Are you a spy, or a librarian?
Your favorite dish could be quail or kale
You might read Dostoevsky or Dan Brown;
Cirrus or nimbostratus is your tale
How to pin a cloudy countenance down?
If something troubles you, do you make rain?
Nimbostratus, you cloud my humble brain
