good to remember
when bemoaning too much rain
those who are in drought

good to remember
when bemoaning too much rain
those who are in drought
purple rain poncho
trudging along rain-soaked grass
eyes that see through you
the clouds on the ground
coming to be with the rain
let loosed earlier

timing their visits
in between heavy downpours
creatures far and near

a flash of lightning
eyes and wipers wide open
red lights in the dark
edging the side of the road
to not drift across lane lines
