"driving home well spent"

DRIVING HOME WELL SPENT
inspired by Emily Dickinson
~L. Page

Driving home well spent
Soft evening just before
An autumn rain ready
To burst, just drops more

On the windshield
Sparkles against a black
Backdrop, the first few
Fallen leaves blown back

Across the pavement
Solitary colored swirls
Breaking the proclamation
Distant lightning crawls

Whisper of a hint
Of wet dirt and the cover
Canopy of droopy clouds
Just in the wait to pour


(c) 1999 Leah Randelle
