Rain Holes
aftersomanyyears of listening to rainclouds
you forget towonder
what you were crying for
mouseholes long patched over
are revisited by that catlover
who became a two-handed umbrella man
they are empty – the holes
alwayswere
the mice long moved to Florida
lived elsewhere not evenclose
so you write a little mousy poem
– smile
take awalk
around the sun
