WEATHER SERVICE

COME STRANGER TIDES NOW, UP TO THE SHORES OF US

906 AM PDT TUES JUNE 12 2018

…SMALL CRAFT ADVISORY IN EFFECT…

THE WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A WARNING

IN THE BUCKET THAT WE CALL A LAKE THE DEPTHS ARE CLOUDY AND SILTED

* WINDS…COME WARM DOWN THE CURRENTS. CARRY MESSAGES. SMELL LIKE THE PAST. YOU LIFT YOUR HEAD, REMEMBERING. IT IS NOT OVER SO LONG AS YOU REMEMBER IT. THAT IS BOTH A BLESSING AND A STONE IN YOUR SHOE.

* SEAS…CANNOT BE MAPPED YET CAN BE TRAVELED. RISE BESIDE US. ARE SLOWLY LICKING ICEBERGS UNTIL THEY MELT, LIKE MASSIVE SALT POPSICLES.

*PLANETS…ATTEND US OVERHEAD, WATCHFUL, UNBLINKING EYES IN THE SEA OF NIGHT. HAVE NO USE FOR US. YET A LOVED THING HAS A USE OF ITS OWN.
