They say of Melbourne
If you don’t like the weather
wait five minutes
The outlook for the next few days is unstable
yesterday mostly sunny
today impending showers
Is it the season?
or a subterranean furnace
(or submarine warming?)
sucking in energy, denying the light
Two days ago
such drenching rain
an almost welcome obliteration
The last leaves on the tree
let go gratefully
when storms overwhelm?
Or do they cling
to evergreen dreams
of gentler nature?
The weather gods
our endocrinal masters
play havoc with our peace
