When all of the earth is charred dusty red
and the daytime air holds too much heat,
we all appreciate the tinkling sound of rain
against our windows and the cool touch of rain
against our skin and hair as it beats the heat
that makes us sweat and turns our skin red;
the clouds mute the sunrise's usual bright red,
but a few sunbeams break through the rain
with a weak attempt to create more desert heat.
But the unexpected rain contains the red hot heat.
