Sometimes,
You can see the sky
But, because of the undercast, the earth becomes invisible.
At other times it is just the opposite
Yesterday,
Our heads, and our eyes, were in the clouds.
In fact, the cloud even tried to enter the room.
That happens at The Mountain.
This morning,
The waning moon and Venus could not be seen
Below, there was a single light, as bright as the planet.
We long
For the clear days with the unobstructed view of the earth
And for the dark nights when the Milky Way appears.
Soon,
It will be light enough to see what the spiders did last night.
