The sun moved to a supplementary position

and earth at first denied responsibility
               but when interviewed
                             gave a little ground.
		
The air we breathe, as always,
played to the crowd  
               said controversy was its in and out, and defining clause.

A statement from the ocean: current form was strong
	         but the sun was expected to evaporate
all meaning.		              Nothing

	          about refining positions

just a flood
	         of comments from trees, flowers, fields
and fountains.		           Leaves fell under the spotlight.  	

	         A new report from the sun came in: just block it out:
catch the first wave home, the ocean added.	      Mountains

noted tyre tracks leading from where
the reef had been smelt of cordite
and petrol. 	     Gone cold.
	
The seasons pointed to downward facing, 
             wolves took a stretch	      on behalf of all nature

              until		             those passenger pigeons

	      darkened the nest of microphones
made a single, blink of the iris announcement:

Hail the new sky, clouded 
              in current affairs
