End of August
hot, dry, torpid
waiting for rain
praying for coolness
to enter on silent
burnt crimson leaves.
I listen to the wind
washing the heavy green leaves
high above –
traffic muted, though near
life teeming just outside
my sights.
I’ll stop and listen
one minute more
& then re-enter
the fray.
