Stump of a Rainbow

The engaged couple pose
For photos in the gold

Straw grass of late summer,
Sunset on the mesa.

Once the magic hour’s past,
They tromp back to their car

With their photographer
Who declares that she’s glad

The sun came out before
They load up and drive off.

They’re hardly down the road
When a twitch of lightning

Jumping above a peak
Superimposes against

A sudden, truncated
Stump of sunset rainbow.
