Swallows flit through the sky
as children in the schoolyard.
Voices carry songs of their
dismissal from the night
When rain returns, voices may be lost
Burned grass crunches under boot soles, down below.
Crumpled moss still soft on the hand.
The mosquitoes sit on the window
like the rain waiting in the clouds for the perfect moment
To strike.
