An opened fabric
Layers dancing
Through the sky in dark gray swirls
And bright orange below.
Layers upon layers
Rich in tones
Lifting irregular openings
Like a deepening soft ocean of shapes.
Measuring in changing forms
A touch of air and clouds coming close, yet far,
Touch the blue and grays as shapes gather and push.
The evening sky speaks in twisting, imagery
As breathless covers.
