May Rains

Behold, across, the window scene, 
     The falling sky, a low, aging gray; 
The pregnant clouds appear to burst, 
     Heavy with the rains of May.

Looking out the window 
     At the prelude to a storm, 
A man awaits the torrent, 
     Hums a sullen dirge alone.

Growls of thunder, bolts of light, 
     Storm’s above, storm’s his mind, 
Clouded with collaged memoirs
     From sadder than sad times.
