The sky
naturecitytimemortality
The sky
Falls away
Clouds funnel down
Framing the window
Jagged fingers
Stained red
Point out the errors
Of perception
Powdery runnels
Dusty glass marked
Dry from lack of rain
And professional cleaning
Polished pebbles in a rill
A dry gulch
Dangerous underfoot
Sitting on the edge of the world
Hose pipe bans
Are coming
Summer days
Fade into hot nights
Hung as a painting
The image may lack depth
Of imagination
If viewed literally
Beauty can be
Under appreciated
When it is a
Portrait of mundanity
Everyday is unique
Even if
Nothing happens
The mystery of life
Is a surprise
To behold
There is wonder
In dry bones
Weathered corners
Rhubarb and tinder sticks
Should we choose to see it.
