Wonder

                                                       The wonder of the

Night sky ignites

On our corner lot

Bolts electrify

Soil is charged

The sky threads her way

Through perilous strikes

Pounding shakes mother earth

And the cobalt coffee cup rattles

In the cupboard

Pelting of water drenches thirsty Bermuda

Magnolias come up for air

 

I relish evenings bathed in summer’s christening

I lay in the wrought iron bed and the twist of

The wind entitles itself to breathe on my window

A battle fought hard ends with all things quenched
