Heatwave Happenings

long days
             of sun
   nature blinks &shrinks
the dying grass
        yellowed in sleep
held fast

oat 
       tinted gold
shimmers on tall
             green stems
   in warm 
         evening sun
shaded gold

silence 
       shattered
 
      thunder clouds
curtains of rain

          monsoon
turns day 
     into night
&
berries rot 
      'neath the
bramble.
