thunder
birds disappear
rain crashes down
summer
Carry
stars and streetlights
fireflies carry
the wind
Flying
broken branches
the hummingbirds
keep flying
Two
two birds
chase the sunrise
the sound of wings
Cicada
the cicada’s buzz
grows quiet
monsoon wind
Sunless
yellow petals
dry and fallen
sunless sunflower
East
the storm swells
palm tree leaves
face east
Hum
cicadas hum
wind chimes ping
the silence of rain
Meet
dust and clouds
meet in the middle
desert wind
Huddle
monsoon
quails huddle and coo
behind the shed
