The Intertextuality of Weather


In the middle pig between tablelands and highlands
we droplets were let in
By the hare of our Ginny's cin-cin and tonic
And I'll blow your trumpet down

The overcast cloud pattern looked wolvish
for puzzle mulsing in en passant
Revering fossilata of ancestral cirrus
Cumulative nimbus numbered past a century

Milan 1892 December 16 snowdust mealed the fields
with shiver for Genoa quoting the spooky gale
gusts of Abruzzi province
today's cloudwolf reposed in 19th century

crystal phenomenon
Static, the distribution of shorelines
Frequency of reliance

I have only read the book of one weather of one day
but in its cove of footnotes it was learned and trained
by weathers eastern and of vintage
The book's bouquet to my nose was of balsa,

cramps and slab of gneiss
Swirled and spat I tasted flowers from the Ranges of 1891
The sunshine of that week revisited by theme alluded to
by the daytime moon I'm seeing now

Wind system cycles parody dark age inundation
and pay respect to monsoonal exulting
 in this briefcase of the daily world
and its archive of snap and wave
