The Consolation of Rain


Lying half awake
The syncopated music
And the gentle caress of a
Cool, humid breeze
Playing through  gauzy curtains
Announce a grey sunrise

Drawn from sleep
I remember a younger self
In the freedom of a stormy spring morning
With thoughts of galoshes and rain coats
Puddle jumping
And leaf boats carefully crafted
For their courageous voyage
On the rivers of my street
