pewter-gray sky

rain

Jul 30

pewter-gray sky

with peculiar sheen but little brightness

heavy with darkened clouds thick

without puff or soft, curved margins

bringing rain soft and incessant

as though all the sky were doomed

to precipitation evermore

and no individual living being

would know again the glory of sunshine
