Unpredictable
in ‘nature’ is she
dropping hints
with sun rays
peaking out
between
clouds
apparitions held
as fading shadows
become
cloudy
mirrors
and the next moment
a downpour of
rain filling gutters
a deluge
down
drain
spouts
a disappearing act
slight of hand
the earth drying
cracks in
hardened
clay
a capricious magician
prone to laughter
a comic relief
dancing
across a stage
of her own
making
