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
