Gray to Green by Raymond A. Foss
People, random strangers Cool stores Hot blacktop Eyes turn Crackle with energy, anticipation Furtive glances to the horizon, Instinctively knowing Darkening sky Deep grays Strong edges Blue slate to charcoal Pale, dimming yellow Powerless to pierce through
Color shift Gray to green Shade like a white pine needle Awash over other colors Heavy air, scent of foreboding Wet feel, distant rumble Closer, dread Flash and boom Inside the fireworks Scurry for cover Drench
