A sudden flash
of lightening pierces
the veil of a summer
night. A storm teases
the trees. Some street
lamps wink and fall
asleep in the womb
of darkness. Earth
sheds its burning skin
for a day and the parched
soil swirls around madly
in the hairs of the passerby.
An uneven tiredness
subsides and I submit
to the sky.
