Photo by Paul Brookes

sky opens and closes.
Earth darkens and glowers
ocean fritters and witters.
air garners and hoars.

child across the earth.
teenagers stretch clouds.
adults narrow seascape.
aged pinpoint gust.

travellers are still.
homely explore vastness.
refugees carry home.
ghosts solid once more.
