We need to talk.<\/p>\n
We need space.<\/p>\n
We need air, sunshine, rain.<\/p>\n
We need rain.<\/p>\n
Drought speaks louder<\/p>\n
than the thunder that roars<\/p>\n
over the dry crests<\/p>\n
of prickly mountains.<\/p>\n
It is all protest,<\/p>\n
and little promise.<\/p>\n
The clouds sputter hail,<\/p>\n
then lightning.<\/p>\n
the bolts\u00a0ignite the tinder box canyon,<\/p>\n
and shows us<\/p>\n
power.<\/p>\n
It could have been harnessed,<\/p>\n
like the geothermal heartbeats<\/p>\n
of the Earth.<\/p>\n
We need this rain,<\/p>\n
before the dust<\/p>\n
of the farms<\/p>\n
picks up<\/p>\n
and leaves<\/p>\n
for parts unknown.<\/p>\n
