Something
different, particular
a
May shower, the other day,
not
July; certainly not March
not
snow, not winter
not
even fall, something different
A
specific sound, a definite smell
of
the May shower –
Warm
but not hot, the pavement, the dirt
reacting
but not convulsed
a
gentle warm rain, cooling, caressing
the
plants, the driveway, even the air
Falling
slowly, lightly, spritely
onto
the dry ground, new greens
thirsty
for light rain
A
change in the air itself
more
rounded somehow
pearls
of smell, wafting up
from
surfaces, even the air different
Lightened
somewhat
in
the afterglow, the memory,
of
the May shower
