Theresa Daly - Draught

The rain sleeps
through the morning
leaving a hunger
in the fields.

It goes on
for days
this July
and come
evening late
August,

a grey swell,
fingers clenched
rumbles across
the sky
squeezing
porous clouds.

It comes
again
this rain
that scents the air
and feed the fields,

this time we
welcome it.
