In a sentence

くもcloudながれていく流れていくdrifting away

The clouds are drifting

How it works

(subject) marks くも (cloud) as the thing doing the action. The verb is 流れるながれる (to flow) in its (te-form) form, joined to いく (go) — the pattern [verb te-form] + いく (go) shows motion continuing away from you, so it reads as “drifting off into the distance”. Plain register, no polite です (is) or ます (polite), so it feels like a quiet observation to yourself.
