Rain

Halloween party

And it rains 

We feel the first drops -

Unbelieving 

It's been so long 

Since water has fallen from 

The sky 

Reservoirs are 

Half down 

What will life be like 

With less water -

Already lawns 

Are left to brown -

Maybe life in south 

California 

Would become 

Not so much like 

Hollywood would 

     Have us

     Believe 

But more like

It actually is -

More like 

The Padres and 

     The Indians

Perceived -

More like 

Dust and 

Sky -

Hawks

And seagulls

Circling
