10:49 am

unsure whether it's a clear sky that lost its color
or a slate of smooth gray clouds,
i only know once the drops fall,
caught by the leaves on the trees
and knocking on the glass.
it's an unfinished masterpiece of paint
that the artist left the sky untouched.
until she brushes the empty space
with
a light coat of water
to get ready to add a layer of paint
meant to be the sky
but hides its true form
does the sky finally crack,
spilling its tears upon the world.
