Making my way home
Water squishes from my socks
with each step I take through the station,
my pants restrict my movements,
clinging to my shins and thighs,
I trudge down the stairs and onto
the street; I walk through the rain
as though seeking a
wet Oxford shirt contest.
A white flash illuminates the sky,
glowing blue off the top of the subway car;
the sky rasps out
a deep, low rumble.
The storm exhausts its fury
while I make my way home
where I realize
how blessed I am.

Parallel to the sunset

Today’s travel heads south – more or less. The goal is a couple more parks and then overnight in Morrill, NE.
The picture was taken at the Fetterman Battlefied on the Fort Phil Kearny State Historic Site in Wyoming.
Rain threatened – and actually happened on other parts of the field. We hightailed if to the car, stopping when we saw the double rainbow. The interior rainbow was actually a whole rainbow! First one I have seen in a long time.
