In Monsoon-Lightning Season
Philly waits alone for noons
That reach above one hundred,.
Releasing clouds of rain upon her,
Unfolding:
Adjectively:Vibrant,rich and fragrant.
Recalling monsoon season memories
Shaky scenes of sexual arousal
Undulating meringue pie
Anticipating forks of pleasure,
She found no sweet toothed monsoon man;
So Philly sits alone now, bowl in lap
Squeezing lemons;Waiting on the clouds.
