No quenching rain (Day 957)

Thunder without lightning   

he really doesn’t care nor 

hot wind stirs columns of dust

does she ever grow so tired

but no quenching rain comes 

of his sins that she says enough

later a tea-stained sun will filter 

and walks away because she is

through the canopy leaving 

afraid that without him

in its wake amber pools of light    

without all this it is possible that 

shrinking on the forest floor

she may be nothing at all
