and theres these flat bottomed clouds rolling across the blue,
and everything is still and shimmery with the heat.
i can smell the rain on its way.
it bubbles up on the horizon and slips over the curve -
that bend so far away that it defeats your eyes its so
gradual.
if it reaches here before dark i can down tools and
slink inside, or stand arms wide, eyes closed, head
back, mouth open - soak it in.
like my toes would take root and my fingertips turn
green and leafy.
