The thunder cracks, and a V-shaped migration of black flock manifests overhead. Silver orbs caper across a stoic landscape – microscopic spies sent by the atmosphere.
Whispers condense into plash, echo crystal aquamarine.
There is newfound virility in thirsty vegetation as the surrounding plain becomes pallid.
The cake is sprinkled – perfume is scented – tiny, red fire-ants crawl between dirt empires.
Here, perpetually exists a luminous and reflective Siberian, Andean city – an oscillating azure melody sung through the cosmos – dwellings for a cosmopolitan writer-nomad.
