The undifferentiated grey sky
Has hovered over our treetops
For several days.
It is not hot or cold,
Only occasionally drizzly,
A thick opaque grey.
A stratus translucidus cloud
Would at least show the circle of the sun.
But no. We have nothing so interesting to see.
But this state will not last forever.
Though much sunlight reflects off the top,
The radiation from the earth
Eventually warms the underside enough
That bits of the cloud wear through,
Transforming this undifferentiation
Into pockets of lighter and darker,
Bits of sky and sun shining through.
Stratocumulus, we welcome you!
