if morning skies

   wildfires blazed    deep into my    berried mountains     charred forests        blackened acres       branches turned      to soot    trees devoured        to root      in fiendish flash       now mostly          ash             so the sound       this morning      of drizzling       drenching summer rain         mizzling melting          pelting gusty sheets      spitting pouring       swirling spurts         quickening          singing           (yes oh yes)            O sweetest      wettest      weeping     swishing      blowing      sweeping      heaven-sent         relief
