Ozone Whispers
Natural chaos of darkness
skates on swirling clouds,
knits together in pewter hues.
Shamed sun hides
behind maudlin clouds.
Catcalls of screaming winds,
an iced suicide draft of
unrelenting numbness
walks on the edge.
Feeble eyes freeze
behind hidden truth.
Emotion of clouds
wrung out like sheets,
hung to dry on
turbulent clothesline.
Tumbled storms
dance on tip
of my awareness,
occupying black spaces
within flailing breaths,
shivering in unknown soil.
Ocean cobalt darkness
twists shadows to open
pinhole of light,
moods of change,
strung together
in birthed vapor.
Whisper of fresh ozone,
layers of hope and
warm vistas open
glimpsing creation
of reborn existence.
