Summer Rain
(Spokane, summer 1971)
Summer rain.
Hot-falling from the sun,
Chasing the heat,
Stealing the heat,
Heat on the run.
Summer rain.
From the big clouds,
Riding the sky,
Hiding the sky,
Leaf branches bowed.
Summer rain.
Picnickers run away,
Beautiful sound,
Pounding the ground,
Stealing the day.
