Rain drops—
an inverted flock hanging
on blue laundry line
Rain weights
radiant clematis petals
white to earth
Rain gleams
dull surfaces
darkens others
The bounce, the tap,
pelt, pinprick, splat of rain
In pockmarked laneways, rain migrates
into mosaic of mirrors
The lullaby of rain on the roof
blur of rain on my glasses
