Gray to Green

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
