Rain - June 2006

Let it weep
Weep for you
The rain pouring
Down your lonely face

Tears will not come
So let them fall
Fall from the sky
Into your eyes

Beware lightning’s illumination
It reveals more
More than one should see
Exposing the exposed

I caution against the luminosity
Of memories & faces
Their light is blinding
So linger here with care

The overhanging branch
Lashed you across the face
Sending down a shower
Of beaded droplets—oh memory…

Pardon me, as I leave
To wander here
And there, wondering
Why I cannot find you
