Hurricane Rain

dogs bark harshly at nothing seen

a shrinking sky obscures

it's comes as sure as louisiana drowns

the old church bell tolls its 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

from the same trees emerges the shoeless woman

holding her shoes high

black dress clinging

black umbrella twisting in wind

she splashes happily

going her own way

to her only

eternity
