Passing Shower

scorching heat
one wind
a cloud
do not exist
head hurts like it's going to explode
From the radio weather center
an announcer with a bright voice
saying
"before dark
the drought is over and showers are coming"
forecast
Not that it isn't
thunder
lightning sound
noisy
from afar
short
thick raindrops
break through the black clouds
on the dusty soil
on a solid rocks
on the hot asphalt
on the tin roof of the poor house
crashing and crashing hard
pouring a loud
at some point it's quiet
sham-
ing go away
let's open the window
the surroundings are clean
The scorching heat again
headache doesn't come
like first love that time
I hear the sound of thunder that I thought was over.
