Day Two Hundred and Forty Five: 25th March 2013

a crow’s stark caw
beckoned the gray day
and billowing clouds
gathered silently
veiling the empty sky
breeze-less and expectant
the air paused
waiting

Day Two Hundred and Forty Four: 24th March 2013

low heavy clouds rumble overhead
a curtain of dreariness descends
staring blankly through the mist
my eyes struggle to see
no thoughts brew and percolate
such a gray day today

Day Two Hundred and Forty: 20th March 2013

a tumultuous wind howls outside
seemingly angry at the world
cracking sturdy tree branches
and scattering gumnuts
-casino like-
across the tin roof

drafts weaving through cracked weatherboards
swirling around the darkened bedroom
swaying the orange paper light shade
and quietly escaping under the door
