The Heat breaks
Water pours from the sky
Respite from the clammy nights
Flashes and bangs
Cats yelp and panic
Horses rear up and rampage
Small dogs cower
Solid ground holds firm
Rainfall pools and torrents
Hard soil refuses to yield
Rivers arrive on roadways
A month’s rain in an hour
Enough electric to power a town
Enormous city-sized clouds
All last no more than an hour
The calm behind
Atmosphere fizzling with aftermath
Summer blasted away
