End of the rainbow



I saw the end of the rainbow today.

Driving home, there was a brilliant full arc in the sky, shadowed by a fainter one. You could see the entire rainbow, and the road ran through it.

The sky was thunder-grey, the trees brilliant yellow-green. The power had gone out and with it the traffic lights. We stop-and-go'd down the two-line road. Passing a meadow, I could see the whole rainbow slanting down in front of the evergreens, into the grass.
