red flags

rain clouds on wind. sky, a navy gray. that sudden drop in temperature and every fallen petal pirouettes and lifts, airwalks accidental in an aimless panic.

a dark, growling green advances and here comes the rain, sheet after sheet in hard, clean lines, erasing every last sundried spot.

and the neighbor's beagle whines. and another's deck chair flips. and sirens resound in the eery quiet of piled, pillowed weather. mass of cloud inches closer like a bottom feeder, teething and its thorny tongue licks past.

months of nothing but slate on powder and finally, a mayfair of color. that hot, stormy scent of rain-pummeled pavement, a distant break of gleaming sun so bright it blinds as it mirrors. spring in all its unforgiving beauty and violence, inciting what's obvious—that change is upon us—and you damn better bring your umbrella.
