Sounds Like: papa moa weather forecast :-sure as cats are cats, ‘twill be a fine fair summery day, with a single wee whispery white & wispy cloud drifting in the clear blue
- this will take the whole of the long summerday to move slowly across the sky, assuming as it goes a succession of strange, suggestive shapes – and if you should pause in your back yard, look up from your breadmaking, muse from your street corner, gaze idly on high during your beach stroll -
you might see a mermaid calling, a trembling star, a piano monkey in a subway, a haiku carved on stone, a greyscale sea, a girl riding her motorbike through the desert, may see a beautiful ghost, a wave about to break, a frosty shilling, a curlew calling, smoke curling from a chimney, the soft tread of a wolf (slinking away from the door of your world), a baby tornado, a cathedral on high, a lemonade ocean, the salt-windblown hair of a lover, a kingfisher skimming a secret river place, a sleeping house……
.....'til the sun sets and the cloud curls away in the still glow of your evening
