If it comes any lower
my arms will flail
to get it out of my hair.
De-energized, subdued light,
the earth is suffocating
in the iron gray.
Bird wings weighed down
except for vultures circling
down on the carcass of this day
while God is hiding His eyes.

I wonder if you have ever been to Montana. It is called Big Sky Country and once you cross the border and enter the state you understand why it has this name. The sky seems to be right on top of you everywhere.
You have such perfect post!
Great words and nice photo make the moment.
