Art in Cupboard: a fragment prose poem about rain, garden rest, and little joys.
I look forward
to the rain just as much as I do to the warmth of the sun, but my flowers need
a little rest,
freedom and
care, coolness, and more frequent
contact with the earth.
I feel that
summer is over and now it’s time for more rain.
I bless myself
and hope that more rain will fill my garden with an abundance of greenery, and
my surroundings.
I wait,
cherishing every moment; it’s still too warm, but I don’t remember a summer as
hot and wonderful as it was at the beginning of spring.
The essence of
summer is that it is a time of warmth, of the hot sun—sometimes too intense,
and sometimes just right. I’m waiting for the relief that rain will bring,
washing the dust from the streets, and clearing my mind of the excessive
clamour of my surroundings. I’m waiting, cherishing every moment; it’s still
too warm, but I don’t remember a summer as hot and wonderful as this.
