Low distant thunder.
Winds blow the curtain and bring
the sweet scent of pine.
We are teased at first
but the desert clouds relent.
Raindrops fall on sand.
Carlos Rey stands desert watch
and waits for the rain.
The old Juniper
outlived his sons and daughters
born in distant days.
Raindrops and thunder -
Carlos Rey shakes in the wind.
and drinks it all in.
