breaking up

Rain across Texas today
Didn't help
The sky so close to the mesquite earth
Weeping
Far as the eye can see,
Through towns like Marble Falls
Luckenback
& Fredericksburg.
Rain across the entire LBJ spread,
Muddy ran the Pederales River,
The sun a distant memory.
I tried different tricks
To push her out of my mind,
"Get Present,"
"She's wound too tight,"
"Never would have worked"--
All failing equally.
