Sunlight breaking

Sunlight breaking
Through eiderdown
Soft bellied cloud
Red tinged at sunset
Fiery ingots
In a molten sky
Poetic allusions
In response
To a pall of pollution
A bellicose soupcon
Of precipitation
Heavy rain falling
Carries an allergen
Life defining irony
Dispersing a
Health warning
In its welcome pack
If it was red
Rain would
Carry the stain
Of bad blood
As well as good
Nothing is simple
Or so it seems
As sunlight streams
Upon the window
The fingerprints
I see
Are from when you
Would stand inside
Looking out
To catch my eye
And wave
A fond goodbye
To me.
