In the trembling light of afternoon

In the trembling light of afternoon a blue sky intrudes
and calls the burgundy haze into brief white question

but it's all just more reason to shrink into the beige jute
and pretend the yammering means more than it does.

Moments of low drama belittled by white clouds snapped
from a light sleep that considered the wisps more relevant.
