Rain Not Rain
clouds shadow the lawn,
the sun breaks through
for a moment
a bird off somewhere
sings then stops
the phone rings early
someone from work
but I don’t answer
I need to vacuum sometime
leaves dance in the wind
only to grow still
as if they’re living and dying
only to grow still
leaves dance in the wind
I need to vacuum sometime
I don’t answer
someone from work
the phone rings early
sings then stops
a bird off somewhere
for a moment
but the sun breaks through
clouds shadow the lawn
