Heavy Drops

I heard the heavy drops
falling individually, thump, thump,
a staccato symphony
onto the hard-tack ground
the thin dirt, no place for the water to go
almost like rock, impervious
heavy, oversized drops,
one onto another,
splashes with the falling onto the ground
even the ground,
slapping the water falling upon it
dust rising as the rain falls
caught and falling again
as the rain becomes a shower
