the signaling of brakelines
the way
a workday begins.

Slate grey underneath and over dove's white slant.
Cant of slightly darkening clouds
resolves into cumuli.
Linear pink thinks it's sun, but fooled,
blanches.
Branches of upper cloud have been caught
by a heavy bird, a shadow pelican, that
washes darker aloft , and disappears.
