I drink from the brine,
a pond or warm wine.
To bloat and to lie,
as I pass the world by.
Grander than spires,
as for mountains, much higher.
A mat, full and deep,
on which no one can sleep.
Yet I bow to the breeze,
less substantial than fleas.
Then far from my birth,
I shed my great girth.

completely passive
travels long distances
grows to colossal sizes
high in the sky
cottony appearance
little substance
travels by the wind
rain
