not enough

not enough
just a drop
or two or three

even big drops
for an hour

even if
the drops cause flooding

doesn't mean
enough

flood's
caused by
dry, caked,
non-absorbant
earth
hard-packed like
glass

takes
short, gentle rain
to coax
the earth
to open
absorb the moisture

one should
always be gentle

not enough
just once
