1442

if the rain comes
soaking dry bones and boughs
window splatter

drawn curtains
the first drizzle
smell of parched
dry earth

this teasing teasing few drops
a child can count the raindrops

will the coming June
open generous bounty
to quench crawling ants

earthworms unseen they must be deeply asleep

still slumbering .. earthly sweet
........Caladiums .. know the answer
