Rain, then sun came today.
\nIt’s finally getting cold after weeks of sleepy heat.
\nAfternoon doldrums at eighty-five, despite the A\/C.<\/p>\n
Snow in the mountains, quenched the Cascade fire,
\nI hope… the smoke was pleasant, yet, well, smoky.<\/p>\n
Austin calls to me, my baby boy, music, theater,
\nall that I am – except for the heat and floods.<\/p>\n
Best Mexican food in the country, that’s for sure.
\nAustin, except scary people live nearby.
\nWill they leave me alone?<\/p>\n
France – maybe Bordeaux, except I don’t speak the language.
\nBilbao, perhaps? Spain is nice.
\nSpain is sane… so far as I can see.<\/p>\n
I watch the rain, and wonder where to find peace.
\nBut at least the forest isn’t burning anymore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
