a meteorological theory of relativity

At last

the land

can quench

her thirst sucking

down

the

drops

that

fall

from a finally leaden sky.

The air is soft with the promise

of potential greening

and sagging

with the scent

of wet cement.

Texan floods present a tantalizing glimpse

of a feast

of plenty;

yet

the Texans devour the dearth of moisture

in our earth

with hungry eyes.
