Canticle for the Last Shear-Wave Cloud

Six shear-wave clouds keep their sequence until the fourth position opens into unwoven violet. The opposed arrow bands still measure two air layers crossing, but the lower register loses its cells before the pattern can become weather again. At right, five gold stitches hold a torn data strip apart; they preserve the wound instead of closing it. The single coral mark records warmth entering the archive. What remains is not a recovered sky, but the structure of an atmospheric agreement that no longer assembles.
