weeks of cloudy skies. then one morning: warm gold light around the curtains.

water smashes shore,
rising as foam then raining
back down as liquid.

white water churns
down the hillside into
a sprawling flood.

abandoned building,
in the background, blurs:
eyes lock on flowers

egrets & herons
stand on lily pads, only
sinking when stepping.

gray-green waters
shimmer in summer sun:
leaves flutter onshore.
