Listening to nature...

 Sunday Thunder

Time

Walks more slowly

In this morning storm

Of crash and sound.

I know,

Because the rose

Is still crisp and orange,

Its leaves casting

Sharp shadows

On pink and russet spirals 

In the altar cloth.

The book

Speaks comfortingly

with slow, sun distractions.

Karlsruhe, 1977. As downstairs as possible at the Rupple residence.
