The raindrops washed summer from the grass ...

 

The rain had stopped - 

Water dripped from the branches of the apple tree - 

Disordered clouds filled the sky - 

It was dark by mid afternoon - 

A blackbird feasted upon a windfall - 

I watched it carve the apple into a fragile crown - 

It became aware of my gaze and flew away - 

The rain fell once more - 

The raindrops washed summer from the grass -
