Sailors Take Warning
Robin M. Mayhall
It is evening
And you and I
Lie on a hillside
Watching a storm roll in
Unfolding toward us slowly
And majestically from far in the west through a reddening sky
Which is supposed to mean good weather –
And you and I laugh
As we lie together on a blanket on a hillside
Conjuring rain
