A breeze comes from the east<\/p>\n
and I pull up my shirt to feel it on my belly.<\/p>\n
All around me, people smile and<\/p>\n
the dogs being walked lift their noses<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and don’t even bark, because<\/p>\n
when a breeze comes from the east<\/p>\n
it means the southern Sierra has decided to share<\/p>\n
a good thing with the valley<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
and remind us that there’s more to life<\/p>\n
than just this incessant heat because<\/p>\n
when a breeze comes from the east<\/p>\n
it plays with hats not tied down on our heads and<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
the kids on the soccer field run a little faster<\/p>\n
and a mother pushes the swing a little harder and<\/p>\n
all humanity just feels a little more human when<\/p>\n
a breeze comes from the east.<\/p>\n
