Snow Melt

Images of Evening

Jalál (Glory), 16 Baha (Splendor), 165 B.E. – Saturday, April 5, 2008 about 6:51 PM PDT

White clouds,
patches of blue sky peek through
variable wind
on an early spring evening.

These aren't rain clouds,
they neither promise nor threaten anything
except a pleasant day.

The heat is off
and its too early to turn the cool air on,
but with highs in the 80s
and lows in the 50s
the center air unit is unnecessary
for the next few week.

There is something sad
about a day with variable wind
playing through the limbs of stone pine trees
or perhaps my melancholy
is the results of too little sleep
and too much imagination.
