if August
moonfish stir
and murmur,
green meadows
remember the flood
rippling with stars
reflection, fish
unsure of how
they got there,
new roots
to look under,
trees surprised
by so much company.
you and I listen:
coffeepot and rain
making music -
water rising,
mesquite forgetting
thirst for a night.
monsoon, thunder
rolling over minnows
through our loving,
meadow green comforter
throwing back its head
and laughing.
raindancing in desert
brown dust puzzled and drowning |
