Grey Area
December 10, 2020
A grey day with skies that weep
Tears blear my sight and dull my skin
The sidewalk cracks widen with the sound
thunder claps disturb the greyish dim
A facedown book with pages soaking
Float piece by piece into the drain
And join the wasted water of the underground
Different from the long awaited acid rain
An elder walking by could peer into
Their wire rimmed frames and greying fringe
To spot the future in the skyline
Grey towers reflecting cement change
Today a storm, tomorrow sun
To leach more color from us still
And dry until grey damage is done
