I submit to the sky


A sudden flash
of lightening pierces
the veil of a summer
night. A storm teases
the trees. Some street
lamps wink and fall 
asleep in the womb 
of darkness. Earth 
sheds its burning skin
for a day and the parched
soil swirls around madly
in the hairs of the passerby.
An uneven tiredness 
subsides and I submit 
to the sky.
