LATE SUMMER STORM

Batwing clouds in
	the whirlpool sky
Pass and form again.

The first fat drops
	scatter in the dust.
Lightning crack,
Thunderflash
	and pour
Until the gutters run
	overfull and spread.

The full sun
	breaks a cloud
		and shows costly
Diamonds everywhere.

A thunderbow arches,
	one end caught in a tree,
		and the other high
Against the churning sky.
