thunderstorms
play across the dusky sk
parched lawns rejoice

late night read
enjoying a pretend world
as the moon travels

end of the week
trying to make it to the couch
for aggressive rest

late into the night
found energy to do chores
and sort out my life

fourth watch
80 degrees in the air
watering the garden

heat wave returned-
late night foray to the market
no cook dinners

evening surprise-
garden hose reaches
to the front yard
