CHI 92 IND 104
Chicago and
Texas.
Two places
Uninhabitable
On the wrong day.
Two places
Burning badly
In the wrong spots.
Two places
Experiencing
Drought.
Absence
And longing,
When they are
Actual things
And not just
Ideas,
Create a
Very
Real
Danger.
Flash flood conditions.
When it comes,
It comes quick
And fierce.
Long-needed rainfall
Moving in mad.
Pounding dirt
Into rock
And rock
Into dust.
Forcing streets
Into rivers
And rivers
To rapids.
Never quite soaking in
Or replenishing anything.
Just making them more precarious.
More combustible.
Everything
A wildfire
Waiting
For a spark.

Listening to rain
As I try to fall asleep
Thinking about droughts.
