Naked Myrtles


The wind has died down
rain falls straight to the ground.
It is mid-morning but the night’s lights are still on.
The crepe myrtles stretch naked, sand and tan
wet and content in their perfection.

The gray day burns with life.
All its forms burning in the rain.
And the rain is earth’s burning breath
adding fuel to the fire
feeding the flame.
