Really good. Seriously perfect amount of imagery with lots of layers. Not too up front but not cloaked in indiscernible metaphors. I very much enjoyed it. 

The formatting could use significant improvement, to my mind.  Capitalization could be more consistent on the whole, e.g. Huck Finn, Mississippi, dreadlocked (it's fairly odd to end a line with an article), etc.  In terms of narrative, there's a few levels of metaphor present, but the resolution seems relatively simplistic in comparison.

Twisted trunks struggle under their branches with boughs lazily hanging 
in the stillness of the heat the
Dreadlocked myrtles wave that a downpour is about to surprise us.
Suddenly, the air cools and she is beautiful 
If only her perfume was sweeter, i might like her more

In minutes water up to our knees 
trash floating sadly down the street like huck finn on the mississippi
we wait for it to pass. it almost always does.

as the torrent recedes, new holes in the pavement are born, 
the sun dried vegetation is refreshed, and the air returns
to the still hot soup it had been
