Reading the Morning Sky

A perfect ellipsis of clouds
Dot, dot, dot …
On a blank blue sky
A meteorological sign
Inferring something left out
Or more to come
But unsaid

Will cloud calligraphy
Near the end of time
Paint an exclamation point !
Or a large PERIOD . ?

Reading the morning sky
Over the Santa Catalinas
To see what it may prophesy
