Disturbed Shadows

DISTURBED SHADOWS
Blinds closed. Dank darkness. A scintilla of frosted sunshine on a cloudy day. Dim lamplight. A doleful chirp. Quiescent but not in a peaceful way. Disturbed shadows of monotone.
the birds and bees hide in dog days darkness - rainfall
The fan wobbles and whorls. A placid flag on summer’s porch. Wet bark with leaves prepares to spawn fall colors. But changes have downtime ~ blue-gray shifts.
the shifting seasons of still oak leaves - gray-blue beard of clouds 8/11/2017
