Sky Beneath Sun
There will be a storm in this courtyard. The hot summer air
funnelled down through the gaps in the walls, warmed
even further by the grey stone. Bugs bask in the sun. Inside
the house, cool shadows cause a temperature gradient.
It is just inside the doorway where the air fronts meet:
thunderclouds gather in the hallway, weaving secrets
into cobwebs. It won’t be long before we’re all under water.
