Spring is Made for This
Ahhhh, it is going to rain.
The thunder rumbles, lightning flashes against the window pane.
Drops patter on glass,
the shadows of the cedar undulate in the street lamp.
Once I saw a raccoon scale the nighttime cottonwood like Dracula.
Tonight, the lush spring plants arch toward the rain.

Dare I say this? I find this kind of erotic. There. I said it.

So glad you said it – when I finished typing it, I thought the same thing

We’ve had .45 inch of rain since Dec. This morning I woke to the sound of rain, briefly mind you, and the cats huddled under the patio table waiting patiently.

.45 inches! I’m glad you enjoyed it. This lush time in Memphis, before the heat takes hold, is my favorite.
