In the
Morning
After rain,
I go
Again
To see
The
Wax Privet,
Lately
Dying
In dry sun.
Now
Coming
Back,
Renewed.
The Earth
Below them
Is
Black-soaked
With wet
And
New leaves
Struggle
To get
Forth
To Shade
My
Porch.
A deluge
Or two
Served
To renew
Our
Desert
Soil,
Just as
In life
We toil
Day in
And out,
To grow
And endure
The spirits
Drought.
