A Break From Rain

for a fraction

the rain hesitates

before her a splinter of light purifies 

drenches a patch of her comfortable earth

catching her attentions I am no longer

laughing she spins invisible  races away 

from the pursuing 

rays

A Break From Rain

4.25.2021

 

Being

today my hand was larger than the sun

my eyes ever closer hidden from it circle the words

closest to you  

somehow in an instant you sing the words 

to every song ever written ever sung

listen to the repetitions of shy skittish birds 

the sudden movement of each leaf before 

the brightening breeze

before 

life 

itself
