a lozenge of blue



a lozenge of blue
sky engulfed by dark rain clouds
trailing wispy virgas


After days of dark clouds and rain, I suddenly see this patch of blue sky in the west, holding out against the encroaching storm. We jokingly call this phenomenon a "blue cloud." The marbled gray clouds are pregnant with water, some of it dropping down in virgas, wispy strands of rain that evaporate before reaching the ground.
