Poem of the Week
Humidity
Carole Barley (Vienna)


Seemingly endless, this August rain,
fashioning rats-tails and the scent
of electricity in treacle-humid air.
The wipers flail, damp palms finger
gearstick with some smiled upon urgency;
Interior windows misted.

You say you do not care for warm rain;
I see a kneeling in ocean scented grass.
Thigh inside thigh, rivulets rounding
shoulder, growing heavy; slowing,
crazing down the switchback of your arm.

I do not care for gray myself,
prefer the terror of cumulonimbus uncertainty.
Touchpaper, flint.
Counting the seconds to myself
between the flash and the thunder.
