[bodytext] => August Rain
No breeze a hint of mild rain no need to water the plants on the terrace. Oak-leaves in the yard pick them up they are pale, yellow and it is only August. Silence is intrusive brings to attention the slightest din making me alert and nervous. My dogs are oddly absent three are in the barn, the fourth, not yet accepted by the others, pretends to be asleep under the kitchen table, resting its head on my left foot that is getting numb from being in the same position. A yelp from under the table an express train of rain is coming closer, the fridge shudder, stops, no light and the roar hits the roof, silence is shattered into fragments, can’t think for clatter, yet I welcome the diversion silence was drilling holes in my head.
