The sky curdled up
Disarrayed patches of clouds
Floating across the blue muslin cloth
As the air turned acidic today
Ominous signs of modern day life
Uneasy and persistent warmth
Ushering the sinister times
Sun looks vexed with timid intensity
Unspirited breeze is nonchalant
Nature’s drooping mood invites twilight
Across treetops birds meet for a cause©
