The Visit of Rains
Born 1968, M, from Stone Mountain, United StatesIt is Fall
The mass exodus of leaves
Is nonexistent
It rains though
And it’s the branches
Enormous to twigs
That litter my lawn
Top half of trees
I find stretched out
In my yard
After
The visit of rains
Whole trees topple themselves
In the woods beyond
The crown of one
Reaches for the fallen
To retrieve the limbs
Or like an advancing army
Join them
A warning
We have come to
Crush you
For the campfire
Unextinguished
Destroy you
For the flick of
Your tobacco stick
On many a hot
Dry summer day
What about lightning?
It’s being
Existing
Most of the time
The rains douse
Lightning’s flame
For at the same time
The wind, the rain,
The lightning came
What you did
Deliberate, Destructive, Deranged
