Remnants


Blistering rain sidesteps the ambivalent
and falls on the passionate.
Birds of prey seek shelter from the icy winds 
slicing through their silver drafts.
The sky's palette darkens to a heavy burdened gray.
The remnants of azure quickly subside.

Across the dimly lighted town of trust a child
tosses bliss into the air.
His effort breeds exaltation. 
Tosses become hurls. 
Hurls become launches.
And the blistering rain approaches.
