raincloud absenteeism
the scorched earth tendrils heat
mirages of Arabian oasis melt
two tiny quail chicks
seemingly spontaneously combust
skink tongue stretches to the horizon
flowing outward along the contour
rising and falling
fading only to reappear
figment transforms
as silver edges harden
speeding Plymouth breaks the spell
seeing a chrome ******
float off to the east
my plight becomes tangible
red arm stretches out
awaiting the next passing chance
