moisture’s dew point

Kim at dVerse Poets hosts “rain” quadrille (44 words) prompt this week…

 

mist hangs thin veil

covers landscape, 

shrouds horizon.

sky heavy with humidity

air’s mood presses in,

mildly claustrophobic;

when clouds cannot rain.

 

hair hangs thick veil

covers face,

shrouds emotion.

heart heavy with futility

mind’s mood presses in,

wildly claustrophobic;

when tears cannot reign.

    Such meticulously crafted mirroring of the mental with the physical, Lynn. Interesting title too, about the uncontainability of pressure. Rings true for many a claustrophobic heart in this claustrophobic world.

    The claustrophobia aspect is interesting here: how it’s not the dissipation of the clouds that would be freeing but the release of the pent up moisture.
