Rain1
in Maine.
Summer's at the Lake,
calm,
The Lake's surface
gray-scale
pointillism.
Little Boy2
dives toward
the water.
Waiting, the Great
Artiste3
measures
Light: yellow, orange,
red,
mushroom – over
ground zero.
Ripples spread across
the Lake,
Driven by a light
breeze
from the West,
Summer's at the Lake,
rain in Maine.
