Notes To Uncertain Gods
Auroras of rain
Imprint water
On flat roofs
In New Orleans—
Notes written
To uncertain Gods
Dulling brains
In wavering sheens.
Dampness
Burdens air redolent
In organic greenness.
We etch hazy sky
With ancient shadows,
Avoid silences,
Refuse darkness
& quiet walks.
An aureole of grayness
Pulses from fingertips
As we wander in rain,
Hands like hollow things
As millions of raindrops
Do not mean, but are—
A cold, dark beating
Of condor wings.
