1.
Honed peaks and ridges
cut the clear blue sky
and lagging cumulus rising
between storms,
as we await the tail
of a Bomb Cyclone
predicted for our metal roof
with coffee before daylight—
or so we pray.
2.
Slow in—slow out.
Gray clouds clinging
to the hillsides,
four hundredths all day—
58 high,
52 low after
an all-night soaker
with little runoff
to start the grass.
