Rain Returns


i heard your
smattering of sound
touching everything
with heaven’s moist kiss

i pretended you
were heater noises
refrigerator sighs
the house resting itself

i couldn’t believe you
would return promptly
after consistent rejection
the tough skin of raindrops

i anticipated you
finding me too soon
harbinger of seasons
cold gathers strength
