its dark outside at 2pm
full clouds are gathering for tonight’s predicted rainstorm the fallen leaves sit silently covering wooden deck slabs outside this glass door dead flowers sit still unattended in talavera pots understanding end-games better than i ever could
we in this region of CA weather are spoiled rotten with the calm of our predictible days and weather patterns when clouds gather in darkness most sigh at the inconvenience of the possibilites of rainwater soaking their heads while already challenged drivers scratch their surface with much greater confusion while decidedly crazed in their attempts at manuevering in road wetness
these are the moments before the deluge of winter in CA those who have an investment in filling wells and water tanks pray to the rain gods to nurture and fill the dry and empty lifesources yet zeuss has already shown his wrath to those innocents trusting in nature’s power as typhoon and tsunami slammed one god’s rage into humans frail and small who still with us remain troubled and confused in the wake of such destruction
o’no zeuss tlaoc and evil jupiter do we ask your forgiveness beg you in advance to spare us a similar demise should we be this cautious or simply welcome this necessary heavy rain
