<p>Sky’s lit today. it’s<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; all moody and shit<br />
heavy with a pregnant<br />
&emsp; tint. we’re curved under the clouds<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; in the verge of moisture</p>
<p>&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; nervous behind its refusal<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&ensp; to shine legibly or puncture. we didn’t<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&nbsp; know to look or cover<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; up for an answer to our gutted</p>
<p>grumble. couldn’t say whose<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&ensp;&nbsp; turn it was to rain. we wet<br />
&emsp;&emsp; our faces with the failure to speak<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; clouded content<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; or divine</p>
<p>&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&nbsp; its portent. we could feel<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; a future’s coming to spark and<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; fail with importance. speak and fill<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; our cups with thirst</p>
<p>&emsp; to offer the god<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; of uncertain intent<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; in mislaid messaging. of<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; fire and delay.<br />
&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp;&emsp; of rumble and flood.</p>
