the sky was trying to tell me something
early this morning out my window
thwarting attempts at finally getting to bed
it began as a flat lifeline in cloud form
which was suddenly set ablaze from below
becoming something of a lit fuse…
the sun’s appearance was heralded with
a virtual fireworks display of twisting wisps,
spiral smoke trails, and richteresque color smears
if i weren’t so busy trying to record it in pictures
maybe i would have received its message…
