🇬🇧 Grey Morning Before Rain
Sounds and air fall
To the ground. Silence.
Movements sink down
To the ground. Silence.
Trees falter and halt,
Plants pause.
The crust of earth,
Fungus, humusfibres
Heavenward, waiting.
Bacteria hesitate,
Beetles, millipedes stop,
Roottips open up.
Daylight sinks, grayish,
Covers the ground.
Reflections fade
Colors turn flat.
Depth and effect
Plain, effaced.
Only smells augment,
Cool, viscous.
The inner zone
Closest to the body
Expands, absorbs,
Wind from the sea.
Smell and tast mingle,
Mold and cool moisture;
The umami of air condenses.
Air exhaled inhaled,
Vapour exchange soundless,
Waiting.
No mechanics,
No machines,
No metaphors.
Timeless.
Heavy moisture breaks.
Rain.
