approach |
Messenger, |
of a change in inherent skies -- |
Winds, disturbed, |
thrust the air into frenzied breaths; |
an encroaching horizon's frown |
drawn in dark furrows, |
clouds, thickening angry fists. |
In the periphery, |
beleaguered rays of a cornered sun |
spill, in panic almost, |
their fan of desperate gold |
folding before the invaders |
trampling delirious |
in their stampede of gray. |
