The skylights were closed
against the downpour that drenched
the garden. Branches
dripped into more rain,
drains tumbled with bright water.
And it was welcome
but for the sheer noise
of it. Where would time go next?
What might drown out there
among the dark trees?

The caniculae
are ending. No more dog days,
no more breathlessness.
I remember how
she struggled, how air bore down
on her and stifled her.
Hot winds carry her
into deep silence. We open
windows, close curtains,
hoping to survive.

There is nothing here
but thick summer air. The streets
are deserted. Cars
do not cruise. The day
swells into midnight. The moon
waits for clouds to clear.
Where is time hiding?
Where is the usual routine?
The barbarians
have been delayed. We wait.

Now that summer falls
from the sky in a hot slab
settling on parched grass
we should sculpt the weight
into a monument, raise
it on a column
and plant it by trees
so that their heavy leaves might
drift like a shower
when autumn arrives.

Now the light goes out
but slowly, a child falling
asleep, the evening
entering a dream
that is not quite possible
and yet convincing.
Could this all be true?
These clouds? These birds closing down?
Where might they go next?
Might there be a night?

A Guardi Caprice
How frail he looks. How
reduced to threadbare gestures
under the wrecked arch
through which he totters,
solitary survivor
of a disaster
he’s still walking past.
But nothing has consumed him.
Here, a plane crashes.
There, sour waters flow.
