No spring chicken, she’s let herself go
wild after a decade of waterless summers
as if saving up the emptiness to fill at once—
every wrinkle in these hills oozing rivulets
into foaming cappuccino creeks cresting
towards runaway rivers spilling, flooding
valley towns and farm ground with lakes
and bogs—all the years of prayers answered
with much more passion than we wanted.
I fear this may happen again this year in our neck of the woods also. Be safe.

Rumor mill: The experts have put their data together, as the dairies around Corcoran are trying to move their cows (70,000, I understand), before being flooded. When moved, the cows will be off milking schedule, the dairies ruined. Tulare Lake is supposed to stay full for 2 years and the town of Corcoran will be underwater. A real tragedy!
