Here raindrops tap a daily rhythm

singing out

on windshields and foreheads 

cooling and greening

I want to pack my pockets 

with these watery tunes

hold them close

take them home

across the sea with me

Throw them high over my head

release them

let them

sprinkle

skitter

spit

saturate 

slip

slide

soak

spray

splash

seep

sing out

offer

daily green

           softly

           warmly…
