sunny southwest skies might be graced with rain,
if you ask politely
bringing stinging droplets that kiss your newly blooming freckles
the hairs on your arm prickling like that of the local flora
and they may fawn
and they may swoon
the brevity enhancing its allure
it’s the season of the monsoon
gone as quickly as it arrived
careful that you aren’t swept away with it
and once the storm has been weathered
it all looks so starkly different,
contrastingly clear
whether you want it to or not
beautifully open southwest skies
agape and hungrily looking as if they could swallow you alive
to hold you tightly in a damp esophagus
ever so warm and ever so welcoming
