rain

2276

old wooden house
disappearing bit by bit
late winter storms

rain is a no-show
crickets and moon perform
every night— for now

sounding like rainfall
its only leaves in the wind
just having a laugh

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
