overcast

overcast:

the dismal machines,

the frigid and decrepit pavement -

grey and yellow envelope my universe.

peripheral is diminished;

vision is a deeply textured painting on an unseen wall



then a momentary lapse in this conscious hypnosis:

resplendent white and orange light bursts through the clouds and nearly suffocates me 

as its source begins to descend below the pseudo-horizon.

elation, pure as day, runs through my soul

it electrifies me into involuntary motion and sends music through my head...

and i once again meet the ground
