feel the rain

need to smell the rain
a break in the summer heat
reprieve for the lawn birds insects foxes
wash clean the dust from nearby construction
a road that will take years to complete
pounding grinding men covered in grime
sadness
sweat
a dry heat is better
but rain would save my soul
from burning up with impatience
at the rising anxiety
weeks of high numbers cloudless skies
your abscence
