Listening In.
The breeze is playing a shaky tune
on tall trees today,
leaves sway and branches sound
coming changes
in pace of cirrus as mauve moves
towards seep
for mist hangs around
the distant heave of blue hills.
Listening in I hear nimbus creaking
with unshed weight
of rain spoiling for speed in cloudy
wet races as sky\'s
gauze lowers and blue disappears
to dusty applause
from plants feeling ground\'s
summer-long battle with thirst.
