seven-day forecast

the highs creep up 
the temps pushing their luck
the seventh day will suffocate
or else just embrace 

the rounded drops of rain
and animated wisps of clouds 
become more and more sparse 
as the days creep on

the air on day six 
will be weighty with something 
perhaps more than moisture 

the unnatural grey of the sky
on a day like today
will dissolve into something better
says the seven-day, at least
