Grainy Drops

The rain makes it better.
   The rain is falling.

The hour disperses into sky.

Does it?
Save your words-

The rain makes it better.
Smell space freeing itself...
You will see
          when the mist
                     settles   lifts
                  when the fog
it will be too bright to see directly
-until-
Due West             when the sunsets
            Pacific.

The tide takes it all in, licking and swallowing the shore
like an ice cream with crunch.

They taste the same. Put your tongue in the rain
drops.
Nothing is the matter,
only salt                    remains.

Linger to hear you near


I am
listen-
in
g
hiding
in the music
tapping
my shoulder
blade behind me
down
the hall
jumping out
at the antique
store
always
waiting
buried in a book
obscure
wrapping up
in warm words
under
lines

Cannons
re-loaded
taking the heat
under
fire-
gun to temple
questioning
fore-
head
drops
(off...)
taking it all
in
I am
listen-
in
g
for
you.

And then...

  Change is like that strong smell of cut grass or chopped wood that stops you still. Patterns, a symbol can be an illegible sign,  at first...
