Diana Darby ** "I V" ** Intravenous

When The Rain Came

I felt the grass go “ah".
I watched the leaves unfurl
like homeless men
stretching out their hands
for something warm to eat.
But It didn’t last long.
The drops came and went
barely giving the ground a taste
of wetness.
How often that is the case.
the threat of trouble is so much greater
than what actually comes.
