My Window



It had started to snow in clumps like dandelion seeds, half falling and half rising, caught between the buildings. Above the tarred skylight the sky was pale blue with opal clouds. But higher, it was grey and brown like slush.


A little while later I looked again and the sky was a bright blue with great cloud mountains passing improbably above. In the distance other clouds stood still like white walls of a colossal room.
