Morning thunderstorm

The rain is falling resolutely
Collecting in the low places,
Washing the pollen
Away from my nose.
But I must shower this morning
And I fear the thunder
The evidence of dangers
Falling from the sky
Into my lap
From distant climes.

An unwanted present from above;
In earlier times they saw
Zeus or Thor or Jehovah
Grinning in the clouds.
