Maybe the rain tomorrow
will end this late-June heatwave
I have been living through
in post-apocalypse West Virginia
in a beautiful cabin on a hill
next to an idyllic goat farm
overlooking devastation
from the last time it rained
and destroyed roads and houses
and trailers near the river
where there are people
who thought they had
already lost everything
only to find there is always more
to lose when you have nothing
and storm clouds are gathering.
