down under
cloudcover
listen here comes the rain
running inside
shhh shhh shhh
seed heads rot on flower stalks
heavy ones bend down
some break
this is no time for it

later, clearing, hot and steamy
cicadas chanting
chirraa chirraa chirrAAAaaaaa....
stay in shade
be cool
        if you can
listen some more
wait
for a better day.
