Without enough rain
even so-called weeds succumb –
no prejudice there.

Rain!

I want to hear the rain
dancing hearty on the roof,
a tappety-tum of eager drops
to quench the thirst
of those who wait
for something more
than these anemic showers
that dry before
they hit the ground.
.
I want to hear
a thunder rain
sent from the gods
pounding out a crazy
syncopation
in the night,
a joyful, lusty roaring rain
so loud
it wakes me up.

No one went to stop the fire
all were singing in the choir
praying for the end of drought
no one put the fire out.
