Flood
Heavy rain: mirror
near conceited sky; now it
clearly sees its face.
Water-swallowed road
no longer paves your way home;
walk or try next week.
Mosquito Eden:
hatched - and now to make a hell
of this wet heaven.
Rooftops peeking through
stormy aftermath, chimneys
snorkeling as they swim.
Saturated land:
while it's had enough of floods,
perish thoughts of drought.
More rain clouds coming?
Nature can overindulge
when it's calm too long.
Floods to puddles, mud
clumps, submerged reemerged: sun
undoes what it can.
