Can I Get a Wetness?

[rejectomorph]

Wet with belated April showers, the jasmine continues to scent the chilly air and the crickets do not cease their song. The moods of winter, spring and summer collide as starless night resounds with frequent downpours. Then early gray light wakes the freshly washed birds who sing as loudly as ever, despite the overcast sky. I hope for a day of continual dreariness, capped by an evening thunderstorm. There has been entirely too much sunshine of late. Alas, the weather is expected to return to its recent unduly cheerful state by Saturday. I would not be loath to have the rain linger through the weekend and swell the paltry streams, and soak more deeply the desiccated soil. But nature cares nothing for my desires. It would parch the world and leave my bones to bleach, letting them crumble to dust as arid ages passed. I must accept this single night and day of respite from the heat. After this, it will be the deluge of sweat.

I felt both wicked and foolish as I wrote it, but the wickedness proved irresistible.
