I hate the working title for this. I'd love some suggestions. I'm also wondering about the da-da's...good/bad? needs work?

"Absurd"
She creates and destroys
in the same breath,
a cardboard figure
molding clay with her tongue
and her thick thighs.
She hums a storm down on your head.
[da, da, da, da.]
The clouds—silk
cutout shapes—
bend and stretch
against the sky.
There is no hardness
anymore.
[da da da da]
The dandelions are
fragile to the touch,
a single breath blows
their puffs away.
She gathers them in her arms
and tries to turn them yellow again.
[da
da
da
da]
The war begins and ends
with a minute of radio silence.
Days fall like yellow weeds.
In this endless wind
even the stones are only
silhouettes.
But she can bend them with her fists.
