In the distance the sky
a turgid pewter gray

to a lowering blue but
here it was just a bit

of wind
and waiting–

.

Catatonic in the elevator
the woman said how is your day

going my husband just fell twelve
feet but he’s going to be ok

I think he’s in surgery now
and asked for positive vibes

.

It never did thunder
so I did instead

but a peal or an appeal
it’s hard to say

.

It always is

.

Especially here

    Oh my. This is beautiful. Also, a thoroughly apt usage of pathetic fallacy: the turgid grey sky representative of the general sombre tone of your voice in this very affecting piece.
