ceiling fans churning inside,
intermittant rain falling throughout the day
as if a warning from heaven that
more is on the way... restless animals
venture out from their covers as if
needing to see themselves in the day,
playing in streams of water that
flow downhill past a variety of homes;
fog covers the tops of trees like a shawl
way too small for the wearer, their fat
bodies protruding out from under...
gusts of wind blow through the branches
cooling the inhabitants that remained
on the limbs... birds walk about the
ground's surface searching for morsels
to satisfy their tiny appetites... worms
stay hidden watching for them to pass by,
only to be plucked up by the little boy
who has decided to go fishing nearby.
