Mark-Making in Mozaga

cirrostratus has fingerprinted the sky 
smudging it pink 
and the call of the ascending crow
over the fields of El Jable, marking dusk once again
- dried grasses rustling  
and mithering flies that always get on your nerves

thinking back, I recall this time of year
a smaller arc of sun marking the sky
how its warmth would not reach me
and how gulls fed in Eastville Park, spread
in a line across the sallow football field as I jogged by
making their way slowly 
like a search party
