Verse Freed To Paraphrase

a dynamic paraphrase translation of Apollinaire I'll Pleut in this youtube clip above
 

It rains voices

         of women

fallen from memory:

in you also o raindrops,

        rains

the crucial events 

              of my life.

And these clouds 

       thunder aloud

a world

with a host  of voices.

Hear,it rains

       of  regret and contempt 

weeping

                    their well-worn tunes,

hear,those falling shackles

                  that imprison

 you head to toe.
