So much rain.
I feel more and more
like a drenched mammal,
less and less
like a human.
And yet it continues.
Branch and creek surge,
tree leaves drip tears,
blueberries burst,
everywhere sticky mud.
The earth cannot
absorb this
this fluid bounty,
precious and necessary,
but too much,
too quickly.
As with life's often
painful torrents,
this would be easier
to sip than gulp.
And yet,
we are bound
to drink up
all we are served.
