The hour the rain went upward

At 04:13 the drops stopped falling, reconsidered, and returned to the cloud in orderly lines.

The vane registered a wind from underneath. No roofs were harmed, although three chimneys reported feeling unusually empty. Stockholm continued as if this were acceptable.

Specimens that object to shelves.

Measurements were attempted. The specimens offered their own descriptions instead.

A stone windmill creature with translucent wings, a green eye, and many brass bird legs among floating grain.
Aโ€“17

Night miller

Limestone, mothlight, brass knees. Rotates toward tomorrow when left unattended.

A porcelain ear and spiral-shell sculpture with a hand crank and a glowing storm inside a glass vessel.
Bโ€“04

Flour oracle

Crackled porcelain and bottled thunder. Gives excellent forecasts for rooms that do not exist.

Floating split millstones and a luminous staircase above a procession of birds holding inverted umbrellas.
Cโ€“โˆž

Unfinished weather

Two millstones, one violet cloud, several formal umbrellas. Still awaiting a ground.

A complete record is impossible. A useful record leaves room for the next impossible thing.
