Stratospheric disturbance<\/span>


Perhaps that night I said too much,<\/span>
ignoring niceties to eclipse the strident voices <\/span>
baying in misunderstanding and meanness.<\/span>
My incoherent anger was misread for greed, <\/span>
dissatisfaction with what was left, <\/span>
unaware I wanted nothing.<\/span>

Unlike the weather, there was no storm warning<\/span>
gaze above your head and the mares tails<\/span>
of Cirrus Uncinus warn of coming wind,<\/span>
the length of tail is guidance to the blow.<\/span>
Ice crystals at altitudes above six kilometres <\/span>
send their gently tumbling message to the eye,<\/span>
influenced by an advancing depression.<\/span>
The ice touched me that night, and no amount <\/span>
of heated words could form a warm front.<\/span>

Vapour trails cleave the upper atmosphere, <\/span>
following a solitary flight path.<\/span>
