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.
