smoke the sky!



















































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...

according to ancient Indian legend, the message from the sky is decipherable only to those whose eyes look upon it at first light after having been closed in sleep through five or six hours of darkness

love,
yr ancient indian

I watched a sky scene similar to this tonight. I also failed to retrieve the message, but I know it was there. My view of the sunset in this new apt makes the loud street traffic almost worth it.
