I thought it rained more
The river runs slowly
Low
And clear
Last afternoon with thick black clouds
Wind picking up
No relief from swelter
Thunder rumbles
Like when we were told
God’s bowling up there
I forget with whom
Lightening strikes
Pause
And BOOM
It rained for five minutes
How’s that?
No relief from swelter
Morning comes and
The river runs slowly
Low
And clear
Almost cold
Shirt off
Source of life
And float downstream
From swelter.
