The enigma of the arrival of the blue

ABOUT AN EVENING } After a few days that made you sweat during the day and even in the evenings, the rains had arrived.

It had arrived on a certain evening that calmed down and slowly got bluer, in a pale manner, that you didn’t notice until you saw the blueness around. Even the deep green leaves of the jackfruit had a shade of blue on them, I thought.

Then I saw the sky. 

It was all blue, pregnant with clouds that were holding the rains. It was never a lashing, but a constant drizzle. The darkness grew and still the blueness remained seemingly on everything on earth. The cold was calming and the sounds lulling. The day that ended that way was a little strange. But I didn’t feel like wanting to see the orange light any sooner. I did not want the day. 

I had longed for this evening calm and it had come.
