clouds. clouds will gather late today the ceiling will lower and glower into gray and you'll turn and crouch beneath. flash. crash the lightning will illuminate and burn on pretty things, old photographs the thunder will erupt then angrily. when the rain begins it will arrive in waves each pouring hard enough to flatten drown you as hail beats on your back. and when you cannot take another breath the wave will pass, spent only to be followed by another pouring down with greater wrath. storm. storm, and at last the stars will show themselves the drip, drip from leaves and eaves will summon you to dreams and uneasy currents of swollen streams will spin you fitfully through the night. clouds. clouds will regather towards the dawn after another numbing downpour you may venture out on the new and slippery streets reflecting sunny promise to do ordinary things before the evening storm. they say you must like rain to live here but those who stay are gardeners.
