rainstorm, and my hot flash and I
are out out in the garden
naked we feel the grass wet under our feet
and the rain drip down over
our hair to our breasts
our belly and ass jiggle as we jump among
the azaleas, pink in full bloom,
and feel better than we’ve felt all day
as the breeze touches the moisture on our chest
and arms and aching feet and
brings the temperature down a notch
so our veins rescind, and our sweat dries
and our pulse slows
cool, sexy,
glorious cool,
my hot flash and I fucking salute you
