rain

1827

bongo beats of rain
coffee maker grumbling
cat purrs in my ear

rooftops sounding like
percolating coffee pots
a late winter rain

rain brings grass
grass brings deer
deer brings poop

to cherish people—
even when it rains
and stuck in traffic

🚗🚙🚑⛈

it’s too late, too late
flowers are incredulous
unpunctual rain

rain greeted me
when I first cried
rain will say goodbye

long awaited rain
teases the soil
scents of not yet fall

rabbit hides eggs
throughout the house
expecting rain

scoured by rain
a mint silver dollar
in tonight’s sky

friends flooded
roads treacherous
love every drop

clatter of dishes
a mug of tea
bongo-beats of rain

rain brings grass
grass brings deer
deer our glee

air cleansed by rain
each grass, bloom, and leaf
a sunlit prism

some rainy afternoon
in an attic’s cobwebs
a dried, pressed rose

each raindrop
a soul of what was
and will be
