The Chinook and Monsoons have no effect. Bring rain or snow, sleet or hail. The Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn Can shift or stay. The wadi and oasis can pool or dry. Fogs can roll, jet streams can carry their worst; Hurricanes and tornadoes can wreck havoc. This is my Kouri, my Oued, myTog.
All the animals are welcome to eat and drink. There's plenty. Migration is unnecessary. The watering holes are wet or arid. The desert can bloom or hide. The skylights can shine or dim; Moons can be full, new or in between. This is my Nahal, and my Nala, This is my Dry Season.
As expected, Feast is followed by famine; Plenty by scarcity. Inhale, exhale.
I shoot a shot of Jamie, Having watched it pour, That dram of gold Eclipsing all that shines. That one diluvial ounce:
Then my cave calls. This is my Akhet. My Wet Season. I enter sapien-like And grow hair. The animals scatter. The cave fills with bones and bottles. I eventually emerge With the changing of the season, With the return of reason, And see; Then hope My dim familiar shadow From the dry season Will lengthen. All I need is water.
