Reading The Sky

Updated: Jul 23, 2024

Virga is a...shaft of precipitation...that evaporates before reaching the ground...making the clouds appear to have a comma attached.”   Wikipedia



Sometimes


​ the grand Nevada sky


 is punctuated with virgas


and sometimes


we are sentenced


to read disappointment


in every direction


​when rain fails


to  reach the ground.
