summer late afternoon
sweat pouring out, so humid
the air filled to capacity
every movement made with efficiency
to minimize the sweat
running down your back
all seems still, muted
slow motion in the sun
that has shown no mercy but
on the horizon
black clouds bubble up from nowhere
monolithic
clouds that in poetic history
have stood for sadness, depression,
or danger to come
yet the sight of them now
brings hope
brings rain
