#89 - around the rain

29.3.20

89

around the rain

for ataraxia and/or godsbother

a garden wrapped

as if a prayer were purposed

dust’s nothing

thirst and itch – we’re mud

under and over

so wallaby with

rain got into certain places to ache

took tea to pass so hoofed

tending all this while

as if a lens were laid

in each round

atom planet fall

in mist fence went

like music

all of us to catch

a forest of the stuff

and all the green of risings then

the flowers, frange and citrus leaf

palm poised and ferning waxy

umbrella is a tree too

we were doing a little dance for

and later swim, take bath in it

someone thought bud up now

and someone thought soon flower

this pub was open all hours

every body drinking

you’d almost think a fire inside

but it was lovely out

rugged and brolly up for

of course one was lost

in timber instance brinking with

and upward eyes in leaf

here is the rain

in person perhaps

wink from all the crew

‘we’re wet’

an insect landed asking

and wondered who I am

someone so birdily singing

simple as forever was

and is, will be

snails paced it out

ducks spoke the loudly joy of splash

shy clefted clouding

in mulberry’s first glimmer

all waiting to be lit

and all this

no one did it

I cannot help but praise
