in the mountains across the river
thunder grumbles somewhere
threatens someone else
with electric consequence
specks on distant water
bob unconcerned
gulls glide on lazy updrafts
watching for a pale green flash below
a fat carp twists through
waving weeds
by the rough leggings
of our dock
a cicada saws the afternoon in half
