After so much rain
After so much rain
the sun is relentless,
like a lioness stalking its prey.
‘
Sweat flows in small streams
as real as a dream.
‘
People are as discomfortable
in ways they have forgotten.
“
‘ A large black cloud lies heavy
in the southwest.
” ‘
‘ The heat burns it off
after a few drops hit the windshield
‘ “
as I drive.

The extremes are relentless, and you capture them perfectly in this poem.
The simile of the sun as a lioness — interesting! I like it.
