The clouds moved so slow today
I looked up–
for some answers
thought I knew where this sentence was going
watered the garden 
tall with bee balm firecrackers
white goose neck loose strife
hanging all over everything 
lillies on the verge–
           on-the-verge 
yes that’s it
what I’m feeling finally–
waiting for that cloudburst 
waiting for lightening
waiting for those damn lillies
to just open their little orange plant lungs
and sing and
bloom already!

bloom already!
