RAIN

parched potted petals smile and drink

delightful drumming drops sing softly

wonderful wet

out comes the turtle from under the fern

to see if a puddle has formed in the path

yes mock the birds

keeping time to gentle distant thunder

echoing a secret song within my self

this heart is washed

rain caresses coarse crackling cries that

rose a moment ago in agony of thirst

squish quietly

gurgle ripple touch drip trickle ditty

whisper sparkle shy shivering shine

thank you heaven

WE DRINK

..... her breast is FULL
.......................brother OF mine
.........................might we LOVE
...............................................................SHE holds us
...................................................................it IS so
....................................................................lay YOUR weapons
..........................................................................down MOTHER cries
