🌑🌑🌑
Overworked fans
give out warm air
this uncomfortable
early evening.
Just a few sparkles
in the sky, no moon...just
a humid silence that hovers.
outside, silhouettes are
quickly gobbled up by
a great dark.
There's a slight wind
whirring....while
pink lightning
slashes the sky.
Finally, slow, persistent
showers tap on the roof,
September rains cool
this super hot night.
On the table, i see peanuts,
an empty wine glass, and
a chilled bottle of Rose...the
aroma of steamed pompano,
stuffed with onions, tomatoes,
ginger and pepper.....invade
every corner of the house.
