Rain

This is a morning of wild wind
and chasing cloud. We had
rain in the night. I believe
there was thunder. The whole

world seems alive after
weeks of beating sun and heat.
Even the train horn from
the line behind the houses

sounds like it's celebrating.
Plants whip back and forth: such
exuberance among the buddleias!
Today perhaps we can breathe

and go about our business
like normal human beings.
