The Presence of the Storm – v2


I had watched the February-sun
be eaten by the clouds;
the last image of its glow
lost in early afternoon

I put out my hand for the moisture
but there was no precipitation;
the air was ready for the flurries
the fury of the gale to come

the presence of the storm
was already upon us;
the snow was palpable in the air
at the moment of sunset

darkness already was surrounding,
smothering the atmosphere,
feeling as if it was right at the dew point;
the air was ready for the many hours
of the onslaught to come
