Algal layers of rock
Pillars of change
Rising from acid reduction
And nitrogenous seep
Busy bellows of corruption
Poisoning earth
With what rusts
From saline retreats
Tilted engines of life
For the record, the riddle
Marching on a muddled shore
Squat and stony muses
Of marvel and breath
In this weathered, easy air
What a beautiful but ominous sky – is this the “easy?” Poem as always wonderful!!! You’re a genius, Rae!
Thank you! (I think this is an example of “cloud iridescence”. The photo is a few years old, but it’s still one of my favorite cloud photos.)
