Echos of Autumn Passing

Rows of dried corn stalks bend  
with the wind that thirsts for rain  
that will only come when it has died  
and the ears of corn cease to rattle.  

And the thunder's distant laugh  
will chase after the snakes    
heading for their mounds on  
higher ground, their husks abandoned.
Flash floods may yet pass them by.
