rain dusting

waking
to cat meows loud
in spite of earplugs and
another sound unfamiliar
in months of heat and fog
I puzzle over it
traffic?
leafblower?
the electric fan
I might have left on overnight
no.

rain
waterfalls
on the rope hammock and deck chairs
dusty spider webs sunk by flashfloods
and all the leaves wiped clean
by sudden
September
squall
