Brenda Joziatis

 

AN EVENING WALK IN SUMMER RAIN

 

The road is slick;

the potholes glisten

like wet lily pads.

From the corn field

something trills pursed kisses.

No street lights here,

just the pink glow of Penacook

and a lone porch light

at the road’s far end.

I tilt back my head

to catch the silent drops.

They say turkeys drown this way

but tonight

it would take hours.
