Still 4

 

Summer ripens into August,

spawning heat, haze, and humidity;

the air so still,

not a leaf moves.



The surface of the lake

so smooth, so still;

lily pads are glossy green plates.

A table setting on calm water.



I'm still waiting

for the next

rigorous thunderstorm

to arouse the atmosphere.
