air thick with moisture
holding the promise of storms
morning, late July

Our dog woke me up before dawn this past week and demanded to be put out. I walked outside wearing nothing but a pair of shorts expecting a bit of nip in the air. Instead, I got a blast of warm moist air on the breeze when I opened the door. I didn’t need a meteorologist to know what that meant, I have felt that feeling before. The only thing that would be needed for bad weather to get started that afternoon would be a bit of afternoon sun. Mother Nature kept her promise later that day, but it’s the tension in the morning that I wanted to preserve in today’s offering.
