They’re forecasting rain,
lots of it. Today rested lightly
on the prospect,
its blue sky innocent, its sun soft,
no hint of change till late afternoon
which still was light and balmy
But there are plenty of hours
before tomorrow, and the rain
may slam in around midnight.
It may be dark and wet
for a long time,our planned-on work
thus rendered impossible
In which case we will turn inward,
literally and metaphorically.
We’ll still find something to do.
