Hurricane Rain

dogs bark harshly at nothing seen

a shrinking sky obscuring

it's coming as sure as louisiana drowns

the old church bell tolls loneliness less me

sees what there is to see

meet the newly half blind man

weeping trees

the brown stream through the heart

races crazily from here to there

the shoeless girl holding her shoes high

clinging black dress black umbrella spinning

splashes happily

on her way

to her only

eternity
