Red Sky at Morning

"To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven." Ecclesiastes



Red Sky at Morning


A glance at a sunrise
staining the horizon
with tangerine and cranberry
beneath masses of dour clouds,
abruptly forgotten
at a friend's discovery
of her son
lifeless on the couch.

A phalanx of black umbrellas
popping up across the city.
