August in Western

August in Western
North Carolina
The summer skies burn.
A cavatina,
Of Thunder playing

Rain falls violently
Cool wind circles ‘round
Momentarily.
Water on the ground
Like rushing rivers

Thunders’ chorus ends
Steam rises to meet
The bluing sky, sends
Waves of moist heated
Air so thick the lungs

Complain. Western North
Carolina in

August
