Monsoon
Thunderheads rearing
like Easter Island statues,
dark and foreboding.
Flash! And your hair lifts.
Boom! And your soul and self shake.
Arizona monsoon mix.
Raindrops start softlysprinkling, drumming,
then POUNDING
on scorched,dry earth.

I love monsoon season in the desert, the way everything feels clean and fresh after the rain. I really like your image of the thunderheads and easter island statues — very vivid for me.
Like the image of raindrops pounding scorched dry earth. That’s the way it is in the desert.
