magic corn and summer storms

 
1. This is the corn before I watered it today.


It hadn't rained in MONTHS.
I hadn't watered it in days.
No other plants had water on them.
It was humid this morning.

Is this corn magic?

 
2. Summer skies, today.


Heavy, sluggish air.


Under increasing clouds,
I spin white string
to marry the beans to the sky.
