thin-slicing

Pressing my nose against the screen
I smell the rain
Falling on the fuzzy sumac

A passing car kicks up a swirl of khaki
Settling,
Drifting,
On thick-veined leaves.

A film of iridescent algae
surface tension,
reflecting heavens
for the strider to skate upon.

The gentle hiss
Of droplets
Reaching home.
