I say arid and the room says storm

notwithstanding the semitropical climate, drought.

chaparral not a lifestyle choice but, for better & often worse, a biome.

some stones recall that once was underwater.

thunder’s nothing if not flirtatious.

these days, no more than a thimbleful.

& the tap colored like something I’d thank you to not imagine.
