a mid august rain

afternoon rain came sunday
thunder growled
an hour 
then it finally 
rained and rained
wendy hid out, fearful, as usual
and i worked on hard pages
in shifu 
finishing four in two days
and this morning
fog and damp
blanketing the porch table
the screens
my skin
and a home 
 foggy interlude today
time to work
and think about things to come
plans coming to fruition
a visit, two, three, more
a trip, two, three, more
and then school again 
a web for gin, who photographs spiders
