Skywriter

The clouds pursued an equilibrium of their own.

The jaundiced glow fell over the soft heads of innocent beings

not looking up.

It may have drawn more in, pulled more up

had the wind changed dramatically.

as if the dark atmosphere

and hot air

weren’t enough warning

persisting in taking shape across the glass bubble sky.

It was clear as day to those that study the signs that clouds make,

The ambiance made moody thoughts thunder through.
