azure


like so many
little fingers
pointing
rooted all the same
reaching past the sibilant wind
for the cloud-filled
azure sky

  5. What a sky - and I love how you lead us to see the fingers pointing at it. Are you still in PEI steven?

  6. hi bonnie - i am back from pei but the images and words represent the long tail of the experience. i'll be going back there next summer - probably for two weeks this time so i can fit in an end-to-end bike trip in the first week and then a week of r and r. steven

  8. nanu - i love tattered and torn up, detailed skies. i try not to be moving when i see them but if i'm on the bike - well i just mouth apologies at the people around me. steven

  10. willow - it's one of those words that doesn't get used often enough which gives it even more cache! steven

  11. Your skies seem to be changing, Steven. More cloud activity. Change afoot?

  12. That is a nice way to view it. If you had been up higher the fingers would not seem to be be reaching to the sky.
